Lyrics

When I am busy with other things I always know you're near
You're working in the other room and when I look you disappear
You're always out there doing things, so why do you avoid me
You take my hand and then you run away, trying to annoy me?

I don't understand this
I wish you would explain
I don't think you planned this
But you do it just the same
You're here with me
And then you're not
You're speaking to them
And I'm forgot
I feel forgot
Am I forgot?

I see you walk into the other room
It seems we have something planned
The people all have gathered
And maybe there's a band
I'm talking and I'm doing
So much I have to do
I see you through the windows
It seems you're busy, too
And then I go to look for you
I look for you
I look for you
You're not here
You're not there
Anywhere
I swear you've left, it's true

When there's issues
And there's problems
You solved them all with ease
There's things to fix
And places to go
You always strived to please
You fixed the car
You mowed the lawn
You said it's was for me

You're over here
Talking to them
You're over there
Working again
I go outside
You're walking away
I look around
I wish you would stay
What did I say?
What did I say?

When I am busy with other things I always know you're near
You're working in the other room and when I look you disappear
You're always out there doing things, so why do you avoid me
You take my hand and then you run away, trying to annoy me?

I don't understand this
I wish you would explain
I don't think you planned this
But you do it just the same
You're here with me
And then you're not
You're speaking to them
Then I'm forgot
I feel forgot
Am I forgot?

It's been like this for many years
My morning eyes are full of tears
I saw you in my dreams again.
As full of life as you were then
Your empty pillow
You're truly gone
There's things to do
And it's just dawn
I know I'm busy
I know that's true
But oh my God
I do miss you
I do miss you

I do miss you
