One lives life well I do always trying
To do things as best always correctly
And that's because as I live by my values
But doing so does not always have one happily
There's a girl I knew a girl from my yesterday
And she before me lived an interesting life
And I guess some things they never changed
As it was back then not meant to be my wife
She silently decided to go find herself
A term some women use as an excuse to go
And without telling me at all back then
But as it was I had a feeling then it's so
She had a thirst no one could then quench
And she broke a heart and threw the bits away
I often think and wonder how she is in life as
When she was a child she'd been abused in that day
I cared a lot about her and did my best to mend
But not knowing a lot of these things it's true
One can only do so much with life's obstacles
That at times are often there in life for you
We two would often gaze at the clouds above
During some time of day to see what they might say
And at times with me loving clouds as I do
Her memory it so often still yet comes my way
She went out after leaving me to the world
And no doubt found that out there they didn't care
I tried everything away back then to hold on
But she pulled tricks that simply were not fair
I see a face at times away up in the clouds
And I think back for awhile upon that time
I hope and pray she found real happiness
And hopefully real love humble and divine
But that was then and this is now
And times they at times seem in life to change
Now and then once ag'en I see a face in the clouds
And I hope her life for better has all been rearranged.
