WHEN IM GONE

There was a simple melody
That hung around our house
Now it's crept back into my head
and I can't get it out


WELL IM STILL HURTING SO BAD THIS TIME
HEAVEN KNOWS WHY I LEFT (YOU)
My feet are HEADED FOR THE COUNTY LINE
But my heart is full of that old tune....


BUT OOH OOH WHEN IM GONE
THIS'll be YOUR SONG

WE WENT THROUGH EMOTIONS
We both played our part
KEEPING UP APPEARANCES
Was wrong right from the start

I KNOW YOU TRIED TO HOLD ON
AND ALL I DID WAS LET YOU DOWN
I DIDNT SEE how it was killing you
Now this melody's your wedding gown

I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF YOU YESTERDAY
AS I DROVE ON THROUGH THE TOWN
I WANTED TO STOP AND HOLD YOU TIGHT
BUT I KNEW THAT WAS WRONG

Solo

BUT OOH OOH WHEN IM GONE
THIS i'll be YOUR SONG
