oh baby there s a letter on the floor that i just can t read no more cause the words upon its face are saying goodbye there s a plate upon the table filled with food i could not eat there s a made up bed in the bedroom where i couldn t sleep i just sit weep oh baby that s how it is since you ve been gone that s how it is i m so all alone now the curtains are drawn in my lonely room the darkness fills the air this old empty heart of mine is in despair even though the tears i shed washed the words away i could still remember every word you had to say they just wouldn t go away oh baby you knew right from the start that my heart was in your hands your every every wish boy was my command that s why i can t understand how you could leave me here helpless dear alone afraid oh how could such a mistake be made 1
