"(Now You're) Gone" lyrics - SHARI ULRICH

SHARI ULRICH
"(Now You're) Gone"

Eighteen years since we set sail
Wiped your tears and read you tales
Unsure if we'd succeed or fail
An uncharted course
We didn't have a light or compass
Or the best advice it was just
Blind love and luck
Pointing you north

Now You're Gone
Now You're Gone
And it will take all of your life
To figure out what I did right and I did wrong
Now you're gone

I'm my mother's daughter
She thought everybody oughta do things
Just the way she she thought they should and
Never held her tongue
Just like me well there she'd be
A safety net in the wings for me
With a bandaid and a buck
And advice for everyone

But now she's gone
Now she's gone
And it will take all of my life
To figure out what I did right and I did wrong
Now she's gone

Oh we wonder and we worry
When you stumble and you fall
Maybe too much in a hurry
To come when you call
Oh there's nothing we can do
It's what this kind of love is all about

I'm the mom for worse or better
Right or wrong I'm yours forever
Phone & talk or write a letter
Never let it go too long
But in a year or four you could be standing at the door
And you will hear a different chorus for this song
You're not gone
You're not gone
And it will take all of my life
To figure out what I did right and I did wrong
If You're not gone
