Broken
Wanda Lockard 1963 (Md)
BROKEN
Why did you need to go
Why didn't you stay with us
..broken
Why couldn't we help
Why did we not know
..broken
Why did this have to happen
Why did you not stay
.. broken
Why couldn't we keep you
Why have you gone away
.. broken....
Because you didn't stay ..
Because you had to leave
...our hearts are.... broken
