The Day You Went Away by: Alexandria Sczuroski

Created for my Babcia, I will always love you [Verse 1] You closed your eyes I said my last goodbye I held your hand During your last breaths Gave you one last kiss Knowing what would be missed The sky started weeping while the sun was bright Crying raw tears through a golden light I knew you were gone But you wouldn’t be alone Yet I didn’t know what to say The day you went away [Chorus] I keep thinking I will see your face Knowing that Will never be the case Your smile Will never be replaced I stand at the door Just waiting to hear your call Just one more joke Just one more laugh Just because I want it back [Verse 2] I still look for you In all the places that I knew For a moment I forget That there’s nothing I can do There are things I want to tell you Things I wish that you could see And sometimes for a second I swear you’re here with me Then the silence fills the room Reality finds its way in And then I have to lose you all over again [Chorus] I keep thinking I will see your face Knowing that Will never be the case Your smile Will never be replaced I stand at the door Just waiting to hear your call Just one more joke Just one more laugh Just because I want it back But then I fall Realizing your voice Doesn’t exist anymore [Bridge] If I could have one more moment I wouldn’t ask for anything I’d sit beside you quietly Just to hear you breathe I’d hold your hand a little longer Before you slipped away Because I never knew how much of me Would leave with you that day [Final Chorus] I keep thinking I will see your face Even though I know That will never be the case Your smile Could never be replaced And sometimes at the door I still think I hear you call Just one more joke Just one more laugh Just one more story from the past But no matter how I listen No matter how long I wait I know I have to live without you Since the day you went away [Outro] You closed your eyes Then I said our last goodbye
