Gone

I know I can't, know I can't
Give you everything that I have anymore
All that I ever asked
Was for you to give me everything that you had and no more
'Cause the days are getting shorter, as the nights grow long
And I sit alone all day just writing these songs
About the only girl I've ever loved, and the only girl I want
But I can't see you anymore
'Cause you're all gone, you're all gone

When I was a young boy, you took me in and
Loved me as your own
The greatest love that anyone can ever know
Is the love from a mother's heart
Though we are far apart, I know
As the tears fall on my guitar
I look up at the stars and you are finally home

And I know I can't, know I can't
Give you everything that I have anymore
And all that I ever asked
Was for you to give me everything that you had and no more
'Cause the days are getting shorter, as the nights grow long
And I sit alone all day just writing these songs
About the only girl I've ever loved, and the only girl I want
But I can't see you anymore
'Cause you're all gone, you're all gone

Sometimes I hear you when I sleep
I never wanna wake up from this dream
'Cause I know when I do that you're gone
And you're never gonna' be with me
I just hope that it's true what they say
When you're gone, it's you'll rest in peace

You kept everyone straight
We thought life was a game
And we wouldn't be here today
Without your strength and your patience
Your love and your guidance
Oh, we love you so
But you are finally home

And I know I can't, know I can't
And give you everything that I have anymore
And all that I ever asked
Was for you to give me everything that you had and no more
