That's How It Is (Since You've Been Gone)

Текст песни Tammi Terrell - That's How It Is (Since You've Been Gone)

There's a letter on the floor
That I just can't read no more
'Cause the words upon its face
Are saying goodbye
There's a plate upon my table
Filled with food I could not eat
There's a made-up bed in the next room
Where I couldn't sleep
I just sit and weep

Oh, darling
That's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone

Now, the curtains are drawn in my lonely room
And the darkness fills the air
And this old empty heart of mine
Is in despair
Even though the tears that I shed
Washed the words away
I could still remember
Every word you had to say
They just wouldn't go away

Oh, baby
That's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone

Oh, darling
You knew right from the start
That my heart was in your hands
And your every, every wish, boy
Was my command
That's why I can't understand
How you could leave me here
Helpless, dear
Alone and afraid
Oh, how could such a mistake be made?

But that's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone
Oh, baby

That's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone
That's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone

Oh, baby
That's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone
Oh, that's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone
