Sittin' by my window, sun is shinin' through
Birds sing and kids play, day starts a new
Coffee is just right, Sunday paper came
Radio plays softly, I hear your name
Wait a minute, let me settle. I know you're sleepin' in our bed
I remember, was it last night?, things that you said
Our loving was so tender, your promises to stay
Then I remember, that wasn't yesterday
Floor falls away, walls come tumblin' in
The illusion of serenity, burst to chaos in the end
When you've gone I can't follow, I'm left here to try
to build a new day, each morning, till the day that I die
Minute and second, hour and day
if I just walk slowly, it all goes away
Shoo the cat from the table, wash my cup and close the door
This is so simple, I could do more
I hear the echo of your laughter, in this house built of stone
You're around every corner, I'm not alone
There's a crack in the ceiling, you could repair
I must remember that you're still there
Wait a minute, let me settle. I know you're sleepin' in our bed
I remember last night, the things that you said
Our loving was so tender, your promises to stay
Then I remember, that wasn't yesterday
Floor falls away, walls come tumblin' in
The illusion of serenity, burst to chaos in the end
Where you've gone I can't follow, I'm left here to try
for the new day, each morning, till the day that I die
