Lyrics:Patty Griffin Music:Patty Griffin Occurred to me the other day You've been gone now a couple years Well I guess it takes a while For someone to really disappear And I remember where I was When the word came about you It was a day much like today The sky was bright and wide and blue Chorus: And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye Today my heart is big and sore It's trying to push right through my skin Won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinking in Cause you can't make somebody see With the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away Repeat Chorus Some better way to say goodbye
