Title: Why Did You Go?
Post by: Billy on April 28, 2009, 09:27:08 AM

A little nod to the bands of the late 70's like Average White Band, Isley Brothers and Ohio Players. Afro hairdo's and platform shoes!!  ::)


WHY DID YOU GO?

Lyrics - Bill Osofsky
Drums - Themba Lloxlo
Music and Vocals - Billy Playle


(verse)
I really had it all
When you loved me still
I need have you back here in my arms
But I don't believe I ever will.

(verse)
I never stopped to think
That it could really end
But I finally can see that you're gone
And I'll never know your love again.

(chorus)
Why did you go?.....Why couldn't you stay?
Was there something that burned deep inside you that
Chased you away?
I reach for your heart....but it's not here to hold
Just the shadows remain and they can't tell me
Why did you go.

(verse)
I see us even now
Walking hand in hand
Every day was another small piece
Of the life together we had planned

(verse)
I hope the pain will end
I don't think it ever does
Not a day passes by I don't dream
Of returning to the way it was

(repeat chorus)

Lot of strong songs on Page 5.
I sent this to a friend of mine who is a big Michael MacDonald / Doobie Brothers fan, and he loved it. You're a chameleon Billy.
