Going Somewhere

Started to go somewhere today

But I got lost along the  way

Cause you weren’t there to guide me;

Thought that I was forgettin’ somethin’

Stared about but there was nothin’

Then I looked around with open eyes,

and that was when I realized

What’s missing was you beside me.

 

I feel a part of me is missin’

I watch for hours and find I listen

For the sound of your footstep on the stair

I strain to hear and then I start

To look around with racing heart

But you’re not there.

 

I pray to see your face each night

I reach around turn off the light

Still we’re apart

It’s really hard for me to face

Your pillow and your empty place

My broken heart.

 

Started to go somewhere today

I feel so lost I think I’ll stay, At home and dream of you.
