When you went away
A lump formed in my throat
It was a tear I couldn't swallow
It was a suffocating choke
When you went away
I had to catch my breath
I screamed out your name
But you'd already left
When you went away
I fell down on my knees
To the heavens, I did pray
Please God no, no, please!
When you went away
A hurt came over me
That wouldn't go away
Until I knew that you were free
When you went away
Somehow I had to let you go
I know now where you stay
In the arms of an angel
