It's a simple day outside.
The sun is the only thing shining,
Not a cloud in the sky.
No hint of you.
I will always regret
Never hearing your best secrets.
And your mind with all its witty jokes,
Your hand restless, reaching for another smoke.
Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.
And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.
It's a matter of faith.
Shut your eyes and believe that it will take.
Though it's hard with these doubts, I know with no doubt,
That you're resting somewhere great.
Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.
And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.
The sun is the only thing shining,
Not a cloud in the sky.
No hint of you.
I will always regret
Never hearing your best secrets.
And your mind with all its witty jokes,
Your hand restless, reaching for another smoke.
Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.
And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.
It's a matter of faith.
Shut your eyes and believe that it will take.
Though it's hard with these doubts, I know with no doubt,
That you're resting somewhere great.
Can you see how I miss you so?
Can't believe your wanting to go,
'Cause I just don't know how to make myself
Let you go.
And I still can't seem to find
A simple way to say goodbye.
I'm not the kind for regret.
Was there something I wanted to forget?
Either way you'd already made up your mind.

This song will always be special to me... And make me bawl my eyes out... I was introduced to it by a friend before his passing and I played it at this friend's memorial service... I was asked to say a few words since I was a close friend (he had helped me decide to come out of the closet...), but I couldn't quite articulate anything in words.... Given that I'm currently in music school (as a flute music ed major) and music's ALWAYS been my best form of expression, I figured out how the chords and such are, created a piano part and played it on a piano while crying my way thru the melody. This friend was 19 years old when he committed suicide. He had just come out as a homosexual a year earlier, his junior year of high school and had just been accepted to the University I am currently at for music (as a composition/Theory major with a minor in education).... Today is the four year anniversary of my friend's death. And this song is just repeating thru my head like there's no tomorrow... Doris wrote such a beautiful song....
