I lost my heart yesterday

In a completely unexpected way

Death played such a cruel trick on me

And now these tears are all I see.



It's just not right for you to take

A promising young girl who was on the make

Please right the wrong that took her life

And pull from my chest this jagged knife.



These tears I cry fall fast and free

I'm asking God, "God, why not me?"

Give her back to those who care

And take me away, far up there.



Someone told me it'll be alright

And I started to think that it just might

But then my mind took me back again

To those happy times, way back when. . . .
