As the sun slowly sets, I face another cold and lonely night

He gets all slicked up, out the door he goes and soon his truck fades out of sight

How many bars, how many beers, how many women will it be again tonite?

Tell me, please God, tell me

What did I ever do

He used to be so very happy with me

Tell me, won't you please tell me

What or who changed him and took him away from me.

We used to be so very happy, but now we barely speak

He goes his way, I go mine, we are beginning to lead separate lives

The distance between us is growing faster all the time

All I can do is sit here and watch all this pass me by.

Tell me, please God, tell me

What did I ever do

He used to be so very happy with me

Tell me, won't you please tell me

What or who changed him and took him away from me.

I went to him so many, many times

Each and every time, he'd tell me everything was fine

Gradually, I gave up on this man of mine

My heart was slowly breaking inside.

Tell me, please God, tell me

What did I ever do

He used to be so very happy with me

Tell me, won't you please tell me

What or who changed him and took away from me.

One day came, the final day came

I woke up and saw the stranger he had become

I no longer knew him, the man I once called mine

Now he belonged to something or someone else and no longer was mine no more.

Tell me, please God, tell me

What did I ever do

He used to be so very happy with me

Tell me, won't you please tell me

What or who changed him and took him away from me

As the day begins and as the day ends, the sun rises and the sun sets

I face only loneliness, a broken and bleeding heart inside

The nights will turn into days, my heart will begin and slowly mend

Someday, my heart will be healed and I will once again be me.
