Thanks, Julia, for the vocal

IT'S A HEARTACHE THING (C)M.C. Newberry 2018/2019.

I thought that you'd come back to me when I saw you at the door

I thought that life was looking to be kind

But you told me you'd returned to take what I flung on the floor

You smiled your smile and hoped I didn't mind

 

It's a heartache thing to understand that you have gone for good

To realise your eyes had told me so

I find your trace most every place - somehow i knew I should

It's a heartache thing, something I've come to know

 

I couldn't bear to watch you put away our precious past

Packing up the love that made my life so fine

It seemed to take forever until suddenly - at last -

You'd done and gone and you're no longer mine

 

It's a heartache thing to understand that you have gone for good

To realise your eyes had told me so

I see your face most every place, somehow I knew I would,

It's a heartache thing, something I'll always know.
