All it takes is an image
All it takes is a thought
All it takes is a sound
And I see all that was wrought
My ego said to flaunt it
My soul said “stay reserved”
You were all I ever wanted
And more than I deserved
I wore my heart out on my sleeve
You came into my life
And better than I could believe
You became my wife
You took my heart
Made me believe
That you were here to stay
And I was sure you’d never leave
“Our love is here to stay”
And now you’re gone
How do I go on?
There’s nothing left to say
How do I go on?
Now that you’re gone?
What piper do I pay?
