NOT REALLY APART

The hurt's still there, when will it quit...
I wonder how long it will stay?
I feel fine for a while, then I'll hear a song,
Honey! I wish you were here today!
 
The hurt's still there, when will it end...
How long will I be this way...?
I'll be feeling fine 'till I hear that song,
Then I remember a special day ...
 
That we enjoyed..had so much fun...
Danced and played to that special song.
The memories come back so vivid in my mind.
My God Donna!  How long......How long?
 
I'm trying Honey........trying to go on,
But it's a lonely 'ol battle to fight.
My God Baby!.....I miss you so......
The memories are so clear tonight!
 
I remember a song from the movie, "Grease"..
By the title of 'Sandra Dee',...
Honey, everytime I hear it, my mind goes back
To those special times, for you and me.
 
Remember that night, out on the deck...
We played that song out there?
So totally involved..our hearts became one,
We were so happy it hardly seemed fair!
 
We danced like two children, not a care in the world'
In fact, the world didn't even exist!
Oh Sweetheart!  I so miss those moments...
So totally involved in our bliss!
 
Well, I'm here NOW...I keep trying to remember,
Those days are memories...nothing more.
But Honey, YOU made life worth living for me.
With you gone, what is there to live for?
 
I yearn for the days I can hear our songs,
And a smile will come to my heart.
It'l take a while, but I'll get the job done,
If I remember, we're not permanently apart!
