A young man in green fatigues

Was walking down the street

I put my Christmas tree up today

It leans a bit to the right

Your first Christmas without me

I hope you understand

My heart is heavy

My soul is sad

What happened to that girl

Who followed all the rules

My heart still remembers so much

All the memories I choose to forget

Every cloud has a silver lining

Or something to that affect

She twirls as the wind blows around her

And dances as strong raindrops fall

I'm not sad, but not truly happy

I'm content but far from satisfied

Yesterday has come and gone

Tomorrow is yet to be
