Nights are a little blacker now

Because I won't see you in the morning

And the sun seems to me dimmer somehow

Now that its rays won't touch your face

Winter's chill is colder now

Without you to melt the snows

And summer days seem even longer

But you're not there to share their joys

Secrets seem less tantalising

Without you there to tell

Future dreams are farther away

Without you to help me there

Some memories are painful now

Because I can see you laughing in them

And I feel so much older

Without you keeping me young

And although you can't hear me now

I wanted to say goodbye

And although you can't see me now

I wanted you to know I cried
