LYRICS (When She Loved Me)

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was I
When she loved me
Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me
So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still, I waited for the day
When she'd say, "I will always love you"
Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way

And she smiled at me and held me
Just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me
When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
When she loved me

Lyrics (Dead)

You don't get out that much do ya
Sleeping in the same old soil can really do that ya
You could go anywhere you like, visit your grandkids or take a hike
But man you look rotten, and you never leave your coffin
Oh living people, where have you gone
I'm getting restless and I don't know how to move on
Last year I was picking roses, and now I'm buried decomposing
Man, you don't have to be dead to lose your head
You don't love yourself much do ya
And holding it all inside is like letting the worms crawl through ya
You could see anything you please, travel the world scare your nephew and niece
But man, you gotta stop this, no one's ever seen a ghost this haunted
Oh living people, where have you gone
I'm getting restless and I don't know how to move on
Last year I was picking roses, and now I'm buried decomposing
Man, you don't have to be
Dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
Oh living people, where have you gone
I'm getting restless and I don't know how to move on
Last year I was picking roses, and now I'm buried decomposing
Man, you don't have to be dead
You don't have to be dead
So hold on to your head
You might lose it
