Mo(u)rning

It's been 3 painful years
since she left this world
I've tried to move on
but I still miss my girl

It happened in August
we'd been married since June
but who was to know
she would be taken so soon

I can't explain
how it feels to be
a widower at twenty five
everyday
when I think of her
I can't help but cry

I wake up each day
and doubt I can do it again
I close up the curtains
and wish that the mo(u)rning would end

We ran off to Hartwood
got married in Grace
a beautiful chapel
she sure loved that place

She was asleep in the car
coming back from our date
I didn't see the truck
until it was too late

I can't explain
how it feels to be
a widower at twenty five
everyday
when I think of her
I can't help but cry

I wake up each day
and doubt I can do it again
I close up the curtains
and wish that the mo(u)rning would end

Most nights I can't sleep
'cause she's in my head
When I close my eyes
I still hear the words that she said

"I love you baby
please don't let me go"
I held her and cried
as I watched her eyes closing slow

I can't explain
how it feels to be
a widower at twenty five
everyday
when I think of her
I can't help but cry

I wake up each day
and doubt I can do it again
I close up the curtains
and wish that the mo(u)rning would end

She talked about Heaven
and who she'd like to meet
I hope that she's up there
saving my seat

Until then I sit
in a room that's too small
and think about why
I get up at all

I can't explain
how it feels to be
a widower at twenty five
everyday
when I think of her
I can't help but cry

I wake up each day
and doubt I can do it again
I close up the curtains
and wish that the mo(u)rning would end
