That Day You Went Away

​

That old pain came so long ago
and followed me down every road.
Like memories of sad good-byes,
it lingered in the darkened skies.

Late at night, when the moon has set,
my circling thoughts won't let me forget.
Not so long ago you were here with me
in dreams that I dreamed peacefully.

Now sweet sleep brings you back to me,
reminds me how things used to be,
before that sorrow came to stay,
before that day you went away.
