It's Not Your Fault

*****************************************
I stepped out of the house for one minute
My life changed right before my very eyes
As I heard a scream from upstairs
In front of me were the bad guys

I could not fend off the robbers
I was outnumbered four to one
I thought we were going to be safe
Till they pulled the gun...

As raindrops keep falling on my doorsteps
Tears keep pouring from my eyes
The black storm never seems to calm
I sit waiting till sunrise...

Wearing her favorite wool sweater
Hoping not to catch a cold
Hoping things will be better
A feeling of sadness I cannot hold...

How I need her smile
Just to go the extra mile

How I need her kiss
To prove love does exist

How I need her touch
Because I love her very much

Lost and confused
I let out a woeful cry
Hurt and bruised
Please don't let her die...

The police finally arrive
Only to see me carrying my wife
The medics said she may survive
Why didn't those bastards take my life?

I waited for hours and hours
I wanted to know if she was OK
The doctors said she's breathing
But wouldn't last for more than a day...

Her last dying words
Made me realize that life can be unfair
That you cannot change the past
That you cannot live in despair

She said to me:
"I hope to see you in heaven sometime,
Promise me that you will love again
I'll be waiting on cloud number nine"

"Remember it's not your fault
There was nothing you could of done
Your the greatest husband ever
Please take care of our son..."

While journeying east and west
She was the one I loved the best...
