Song Description

A lover who has left this world.

Lyrics

You're Not There

Every night I drift into
A memory of yesterday and you
And in the fading light I stare
At smoke rings floating in the air
And slowly I forget you're not there

Shadows dance across the room
The wind blows in a hint of your perfume
And then a whisper in my ear
I reach out and pull you near
But when the morning comes
You're not there

On a cold day in December
We said our last goodbye
I put a flower in your hair
And kissed your cold cold eyes
And walked away with memories
All mixed up with my tears
Tomorrow never came for you
Only yesteryear

And so tonight when I get home
I'll lie down in that great big bed alone
And as I fall asleep you come
And stay with me the whole night long
But when the morning comes
You're not there
