Paul Williams - You're Gone lyrics

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
