Story Behind the Song
I titled this song "Why" because that's the first question that comes to my mind when somebody close to us dies. There have been family losses in the past few years. I felt the need to vent and write down my thoughts about these times. Hopefully it will help others.
Lyrics
1st Verse:
I'm thinking of the time, of that one special moment;
When you threw me in the air, for a pause for a second;
I knew you'd be there waiting for me to come back down;
but now that you went away, who's gonna catch me now;
You said that you'd never leave, I trusted and I believed;
I'm trying to understand, just last week you held my hand;
Why must I go through this pain, I want it go away;
I want this to be a dream, I want this to be the day;
The day you and me used to be in front of the T.V.,
watching our favorite team playing in the world series;
I'd sit and I'd cheer with you, when you asked to get a brew;
I'd run to the fridge and pick, the beer that you love to drink;
A dollar was my reward, you looked at me with a smile;
I'd shove it in my pocket, it would only last for a while;
I'd bring you another, it doesn't hurt to try;
And sure enough you hand me more and not even ask why;
The many things I saw made me look up to you,
How you greeted everybody with a smile and a hug to;
You touched everybody's heart, We'll never forget you for this;
You always made the time, that's something I'll always miss.
HOOK:
WHY, WHY DID YOU GO
I FEEL SO ALONE, WITHOUT YOU I JUST CAN'T KEEP GOING ON,
ON WITH MY WAYS, AND ON WITH MY LIFE,
SOMEDAY YOU MIGHT BE THERE TO
TELL ME WHY PLEASE TELL ME WHY
2nd Verse:
I wasn't ready for the day,
It's so hard for me to never see;
But if I could I'd bring you back to hear the sound of your voice,
It's times like this I really need your loving company;
You gave me the strength I needed when I was down,
Everyday you filled my heart and told me how much you felt proud;
Life goes on.
I try to take it day by day,
But how can I go on every night I kneel and pray;
Dear God, why did you take my love away from me,
Why are you letting me drown in my tears of misery;
Bring me along, take me up to your heaven,
Cuz maybe there I'll find the peace that I need to make me better;
I gotta get through this, I'm not used to doing this;
How do I take another step without your presence;
Maybe these words will help me to visualize,
The moment I stand before you and look into your eyes.
HOOK:
WHY, WHY DID YOU GO
I FEEL SO ALONE, WITHOUT YOU I JUST CAN'T KEEP GOING ON,
ON WITH MY WAYS, AND ON WITH MY LIFE,
SOMEDAY YOU MIGHT BE THERE TO
TELL ME WHY PLEASE TELL ME WHY
3rd Verse:
As I reach out to the sky I close my eyes and shed a tear
making a fist with both hands but don't understand why you're not here
Its so clear, the day you said goodbye and had to leave
but now that you're not near I live in fear you died but I still bleed
I can't believe you're never coming back you really left me
Now who's gonna watch my back who's gonna be there to protect me
I wish so grand I had a chance to let you know I'm thinking of you
hold your hand and tell you thanks for what you did - I'll always love you
you would've been so proud of your son he looks just like you
he's walking and talking very loud and likes to fight too
he has a right to but I'm really scared that when he gets older he might do
just like you, descend from the night sky and then die too.
what can I do to get rid of this burning pain of this bright light
every night I call your name and pray to god that you're all right
can't wait to greet again best friend you're gonna be so glad
to finally meet your loving son and finally hear him call you dad.
HOOK:
WHY, WHY DID YOU GO
I FEEL SO ALONE, WITHOUT YOU I JUST CAN'T KEEP GOING ON,
ON WITH MY WAYS, AND ON WITH MY LIFE,
SOMEDAY YOU MIGHT BE THERE TO
TELL ME WHY PLEASE TELL ME WHY
