Lyrics
Verse:
I'll always remember that Tuesday morning; you headed off for the coast
We stood at the gate and we teased each other over who loved who the most
We laughed 'cause we knew we were both right; then they called to board your row
A hug, a kiss and away you flew; I stayed to watch you go
Pre-Chorus:
The sun was bright, the sky was blue; you were all over my mind
I knew that I'd soon be hearing from you saying your flight had made it
Verse:
So I got in the car and drove on home; dreaming of a coming weekend
The autumn leaves, the crisp fall air, with my lover and my best friend
A half hour later the telephone rang, and the radio stopped in mid-song
They both gave me the news; something was terribly wrong
Pre-Chorus:
The sky was blue, the sun was bright but darkness had covered us all
There was no way in heaven that this could be right; every prayer that I knew, I prayed it
Chorus:
We're forever at Ground Zero
And every morning that I wake up
I'll struggle to the kitchen table
And still pour coffee in your cup
When I drive to work or stop for lunch
I'll miss you; every day's so alone
I'll be there with you at Ground Zero forever more
Chorus:
We're forever at Ground Zero
And every morning that I wake up
I'll struggle to the kitchen table
And still pour coffee in your cup
When I drive to work or stop for lunch
I'll miss you; every day's so alone
I'll be there with you at Ground Zero forever more
I'll be there with you at Ground Zero forever more
