You're Gone - Paul Williams

I said hello I think I’m broken

And though I was only jokin'

It took me by surprise when you agreed

I was trying to be clever

For the life of me I never would have guessed how far

The simple truth would lead

You knew all my lines, you knew all my tricks

You knew how to heal that pain no medicine can fix

And I bless the day I met you

And I thank God that he let you lay beside me

For a moment that lives on

And the good news is

I’m better for the time we spent together

And the bad news is

You’re gone

Looking back it’s still surprising

I was sinking, you were risin'

And with a look, you caught me in the mid-air

Now I know God has his reasons

But sometimes it’s hard to see them

When I awake and find that you’re not there

You found hope in hopeless

You made crazy sane

You became the missing link

That helped me break my chains

And I bless the day I met you

And I thank God that he let you lay beside me

For a moment that lives on

And the good news is

I’m better for the time we spent together

The bad news is

You’re gone
