Lifes Saddest Occasions

She looks in the mirror
And the tears rolls down her face
The lines she never notice before
Are now all over the place

She fumbles with a cigarette 
As she tries to get it light
She heard the knock on the door
Asking if she’s alright

Every one comes up to hugs her 
There’s not much they can say
They just bend their heads
And slowly walk away

Jasmines flowers over the fire place
That he knows she’s always like
And he would always bring it for her
When he comes from work at night

The weather outside is changing
Thunder sounds like distance drums
She goes over to the table 
Pour her self a drink of rum

The rain started falling
As she walks out the door
Today he’s is leaving her
And won’t come back no more

She gets in the back seat
Looking out the windows
She looks at the house
A long line of cars follows

This is the last time 
That He will ever be home
Now her life is so empty
He just went and left her alone

She thinks of the years
And how quickly did it pass
He swear to be here for ever
Today he lies under the grass

The place is getting dark now
As she says he final goodbye
Don’t know how to face tomorrow
But she knows she got to try

One of life’s saddest occasions
Is when a love one passes away?
And many want to comfort her
Just can’t find the right words to say

Every thing that could be said
Has probably been said already
And some times the best thing to do
Is to just give a hug and let them be

And at the funeral service today
She buries her heart with him
And she walks out the cemetery gate
A new challenge she face within

Today its Ten years pass already
She places flowers on his stone
And I think she met him in heaven 
Because she died that night alone
