When I got to my car this morning

When I got to my car this morning and I started to drive away
I thought to myself your forgetting something, what I couldn't say
It bothered me for sometime, then didn't cross me mind
I started to think of things I had to do and how to spend my time

I stopped for breakfast along the way for a cup of coffee or two
Then I got the feeling again that there was something I was supposed to do
This was now really bothering me I checked my day timer one more time
But whatever it was I could not think...How could you slip my mind

I realized then what it was as one tear started to flow
I didn't think about you this morning, I'm afraid I've finally let you go
I wanted this day for so long, but now to much will change
Your face was always my first thought, my first words were you name

I wonder if each day will get better, if my tear will soon run dry
All I know is the pains still there from the day I said good-bye
