Puppet Dance

Why did you leave me all alone, why didn't you tell me you were going home
Everything changes now you're gone, making me wonder how to carry on
Over and over you gave to me, I wish I had told you what you meant to me
Why does it always have to end, losing a loved one is so hard
Oh my Lord, is it right? By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying
Where's the warmth of the sun? Was there something that I should have done?
Oh why do you have to leave, Why do you have to leave me crying?
What I would give just to hear you laugh, but all I have left isjust a photograph
Oh to have known you all those years, wish I had known how to dry your tears
Everything matters when you're young, everything shatters whenthe day is done
Everything falters in the end, losing a loved one is so hard
Oh my Lord, is it right? By the light of the darkest night
You're never gonna see, you're never gonna see me crying
Where's the warmth of the sun? Was there something that I should have done?
Oh why do you have to leave, Why do you have to leave me crying?
So many feelings rushing in, it's too late for thinking how it could have been
Who knows the reason, was meant to be, it's gonna be lonely
Will you wait for me?
