Occurred to me the other day

You been gone now a couple years

Well I guess it takes a while

For someone to really disappear

And I remember where I was

When the word came about you

It was a day much like today

The sky was bright and wide and blue.

And I wonder where you are

And if the pains ends when you die

And I wonder if there was

Some better way to say goodbye.

Today my heart is big and sore

It's tryin' to push right through my skin

Won't see you anymore

I guess that's finally sinkin' in

'cause you can't make somebody see

With the simple words you say

All their beauty from within

Sometimes they just look away.

And I wonder where you are

And if the pains ends when you die

And I wonder if there was

Some better way to say goodbye

Some better way to say goodbye.
