The Main Event

Things looked good when we were younger Time was everything we had We sailed lovingly through good times Stuck together through the bad We had adventures, plans and travels Had ambitions and had dreams Had success in many ventures And failed in reckless schemes But we did it all together we were always side by side From the moment that I met you, till the moment that you died It's been said by many, that life is just a stage And when one act is over we must turn another page We must sing another song and the show must go on But everything's a sideshow when the main event is gone Now I carry on our story, looking like I'm coping well No one there to catch the teardrops On my lonely carousel How I wish that I was with you Have you by my side again To hold me through the sadness Help me through the grief and pain But darling I will love you Until the end of time Ever thankful that I met you That your heart linked up with mine It's been said by many, that life is just a stage And when one act is over we must turn another page We must sing another song and the show must go on But everything's a sideshow when the main event is gone
