Elegy # 1

In my dreams sometimes I forget that you're gone

that you're not there

you're not there

Waking up in the dark all alone

it's not fair

it's just not fair

I can't believe that you are dead

I won't believe it

I try to remember all the good times we had

but I don't care

I just don't care

Maybe one day I won't feel so bad

but I'm not there

no, I'm not there

I can't believe that you are dead

I won't believe that you are dead

It was years ago but recent in my head

I can't believe that you are dead

One day they tell me, I'll only remember the joy, the light you brought into my life

I can't wait much longer for that day

until that time it'll stab me like a knife

Over and over, come what may

I'll try to remember all the good times we had

maybe I'll care

I hope I'll care

The sadness will be replaced by your love

I think that's fair

I know that's fair

Because I don't believe that you're dead

I never believed that you are dead . . .
