A conversation

We haven't spoken in so long, dear'
This year has gone by in a blur
Today seems everything's gone wrong here
I'm looking for the way things were
I know you' d laugh and call me tragic
For everything's in disarray
These rooms were always full of magic
That's vanished, since you went away
♪
This house is crowded now with questions
And John's a walking questionnaire
And I could surely use a few suggestions
On how to brush our daughter's hair
When Georgie needed explanations
You always knew just what to say
And I miss our family conversations
It's silent, since you went away
Winter has gone
But not from this room
Snow's left the lane
But the cherry trees forgot to bloom
♪
I'll carry on the way you told me
I say that like I have a choice
And though you are not here to hold me
In the echoes I can hear your voice
But still one question fills my day dear
The answer I most longed to know
Each moment since you went away dear
My question, Kate, is
'Where'd you go?'
