Oh, How I've Gone
and Blown it All
..........................
Oh, how I've gone
and blown it all
Sad memories do I recall
Memories of a time
that's now gone by
Now your shadow
from my past
causes me to cry
Oh, how I've gone
and blown it all
I fall to my knees
as I recall
the times when
you where within
my grasp
Your hand
in mine
how I wish
I could clasp
Oh, how I've gone
and blown it all
I cover my face
as I recall
Upon my knees
I see an image of you -
a dark deep shadow
of the you I once knew
Oh, how I've gone
and blown it all
I reach out my hand
for you to hold
I shiver at the feel
of your shadowy touch,
this man on his knees
who still loves
you so much
Oh how I've gone
and blown it all
No more in this life
will I behold
the presence
of your love
like the brightest light
Now your hand
on my shoulder
disappears into
dark night
Oh, how I've gone
and blown it all
Took your love
for granted
as I recall
Your heart
stopped beating
that grim dark night
Now my love
has gone forever
away from my sight
Oh, how I've gone
and blown it all
Should have told you
that I loved you
as I recall
A broken-hearted man
in deep despair
calls out your name
but you're no longer there...
