She's Gone

Anthony Hamilton · The Point Of It All [2008]

The sun don't seem to shine on me no more

I find myself waitin' by the door

Things just ain't the same

Since you've been gone



So I kill time waitin' by the phone

Hopin' that you'll call or just come home

Your side of the bed is cold and I'm alone

So I called Mama and Mama said

"Son, let it go, move on"



"'Cause she's gone, yeah, she's gone

Oh she's gone, yeah, she's gone"

And I know, and I know

But what if Mama was wrong



At night I pace the floor and corridors

I'm a man of wealth but by myself I'm poor

So Lord, take this, take that

'Cause I can't take no more

She was all I'm livin' for



And now she's gone

There's all this emptiness inside my home

Her side of the bed is cold and I'm alone

So I called Mama and Mama said

"Son, let it go, move on"



"'Cause she's gone, yeah, she's gone

Oh she's gone, yeah, she's gone"

And I know, and I know



Please just move on

Life will still keep goin' on

It's time to let her go

It's time to let her go and move on



And she's gone, yeah, she's gone

Oh she's gone, yeah, she's gone

And I know, and I know

But what if Mama was wrong



And she's gone, yeah, she's gone

Oh, she's gone, yeah, she's gone

And I know, and I know



What if Mama's wrong

What if Mama's wrong

I know she's gotta be wrong

She's just comin' home again

She's Gone
