| When was it that you had left
|
| As I sat on the porch sad and bereft
|
| Was it when you walked out the door
|
| Or was it so many years before?
|
| Did you think I’d never notice
|
| All the looks you gave to your accomplice
|
| Behind the scenes and in the shadows
|
| Out in the barn and in the meadows?
|
| The day you left
|
| I’ve been full of sorrow mixed with happiness
|
| The day you left
|
| Surprisingly I’ve been content with loneliness
|
| Straw in your hair gave you away
|
| But I kept all your secrets to this day o-ohh
|
| Hoping it would just be a fling
|
| And back into my arms you’d spring
|
| I wish and pray that you’d remember
|
| The love we shared so true and tender o-oh
|
| Maybe soon enough you’d get bored oh
|
| With this passing fancy I abhorred
|
| The day you left
|
| I’ve been full of sorrow mixed with happiness
|
| The day you left
|
| Surprisingly I’ve been content with loneliness
|
| A day, a month, another year oh-h
|
| I woulda waited for you my dear
|
| With my mouth shut and teeth clenched o-oh
|
| Despite it all to the bitter end oooo
|
| But your happiness is all I care for
|
| Today, tomorrow, and forever more hey-y
|
| And as you walk off and leave me behind
|
| I’ll be waiting still if you change your mind
|
| Yeah
|
| Ooo
|
| The day you left
|
| Oooo the day you left
|
| Oooo-ohhhhhh |
