My First Night Alone Without You
Charles K. Vassy
There is an aching in my head
From the bed, I can't get used to
It's these little hours in the dark, I dread
As I spend my first night alone without you
Honey, half of me has gone away
All the love I learned to cling to
Tomorrow I'll have to find another way
To live the rest of my life alone without you
You taught me how to live
How to be myself and how to give
Oh, but now it's you
Who's given up on giving
You've lost the thing, no one could teach
You've changed it, and now you're out of reach
And my life tonight
Just don't seem worth living, no, no
I've been sitting learning how to read
'Cause back in school I never liked to
It's just one of those little things I'm gonna need
As I put my life together, baby, without you
