We Miss You G

We’re calling for you G
Surely you thought we would
We wonder if you’re happy
Don’t you think we should?

We’re dialing for you G
Even though you’re gone
We’d like to talk to you
About the things left undone

We’re watching for you G
Every time we turn around
We’re certain we see you
Driving back through town

Why did you leave us G?

We’re thinking of you G
We thought we should say
Your kids are doing well
Wondering why you went away

We hardly knew you G
Before you dropped us cold
We always thought we’d see
The days we’d all grow old

We’re searching for you G
We knew you had fears
Trapped so deep inside
For many, many years

Why did you leave us G?

We really loved you G
We thought you were ours
And wanted to help you
Get through those last few hours

We watched over you G
We did our very best
That hot, summer day
When you were laid to rest

We’d like to visit you G
But you know that’s out
Since you took your own life
And left us here to cry

Why did you leave us G?
