Last night I woke up
And called your name,
Then I looked around to see
If you were there,
But my tears reminded me
That you had gone,
So I wiped my tears away
And said a prayer.
Dear Lord, let her know
That I still love her.
Please try to make her see
That I still care.
I wish that she could know
How much I miss her.
Maybe I’m too blind to see,
But I still care.
I cried myself to sleep
Again last night,
And I woke to find
That I was still alone,
And my pillow was covered
With my tears
And those tears reminded me
That you had gone.
