The Day You Left
When was it that you had left
As I sat on the porch sad and bereft
Was it when you walked out the door
Or was it so many years before?
Did you think I'd never notice
All the looks you gave to your accomplice
Behind the scenes and in the shadows
Out in the barn and in the meadows?
The day you left
I've been full of sorrow mixed with happiness
The day you left
Surprisingly I've been content with loneliness
Straw in your hair gave you away
But I kept all your secrets to this day, oh-oh
Hoping it would just be a fling
And back into my arms you'd spring?
I wish and pray that you'd remember
The love we shared so true and tender, oh-oh
Maybe soon enough you'd get bored, oh
With this passing fancy I abhorred
The day you left
I've been full of sorrow mixed with happiness, oh
The day you left
Surprisingly I've been content with loneliness, he-he-he
A day, a month, another year, oh-oh
I woulda waited for you my dear
With my mouth shut and teeth clenched oh-oh
Despite it all to the bitter end, ooh
But your happiness is all I care for
Today, tomorrow, and forever more, hey
And as you walk off and leave me behind
I'll be waiting still if you change your mind
Yeah, ohh
The day you left
Ohh, the day you left
Ohh-ohh
As I sat on the porch sad and bereft
Was it when you walked out the door
Or was it so many years before?
Did you think I'd never notice
All the looks you gave to your accomplice
Behind the scenes and in the shadows
Out in the barn and in the meadows?
The day you left
I've been full of sorrow mixed with happiness
The day you left
Surprisingly I've been content with loneliness
Straw in your hair gave you away
But I kept all your secrets to this day, oh-oh
Hoping it would just be a fling
And back into my arms you'd spring?
I wish and pray that you'd remember
The love we shared so true and tender, oh-oh
Maybe soon enough you'd get bored, oh
With this passing fancy I abhorred
The day you left
I've been full of sorrow mixed with happiness, oh
The day you left
Surprisingly I've been content with loneliness, he-he-he
A day, a month, another year, oh-oh
I woulda waited for you my dear
With my mouth shut and teeth clenched oh-oh
Despite it all to the bitter end, ooh
But your happiness is all I care for
Today, tomorrow, and forever more, hey
And as you walk off and leave me behind
I'll be waiting still if you change your mind
Yeah, ohh
The day you left
Ohh, the day you left
Ohh-ohh
