She came into my life
Said she would be my wife
My heart filled with joy
Two become one

I came home and found her
Lying there lifeless
Breathless
I could not bear it

All these tears I'm crying
Where has happy gone
I don't know
I don't know

Taken from me 
Now departed 
My heart is 
Torn in two

All these tears I'm crying
Where has happy gone
I don't know
I don't know

There were days of joy
and I smiled a lot
But, those days
have long since passed

All these tears I'm crying
Where has happy gone
I don't know
I don't know

I sit alone in sorrow
No one is here to hold me
I think I want to die
But what's the use

All these tears I'm crying
Where has happy gone
I don't know
I don't know

I need someone
To talk to
To tell my story to
Who will listen and be patient
Present in my pain
