You Won’t Be Here

Baby, do I need somebody to talk to tonight
I saw a plane hit a giant tower
Then yet another hit, within the hour
Baby I need you to hold me and say it’s alright!

But you won’t be here
When I get home!
But some other man’s coming home to his wife cause you were there!
No, you won’t be here
When I get home
And not having you to share my home is more than I can bear
I can't bear it!

Baby, do I need you to come hold my hand, today
Buildings and all that they held came falling
I saw her jump and I heard her calling
Baby, I need you to make all the pain go away!

But you won’t be here
When the baby cries
Some other baby will have her eyes dried cause you were there
No you won’t be here
When your baby cries!
And not having you to dry my eyes is more than I can bear!

Who did you know?
I knew somebody
Was it a close friend or someone you loved?!
Everyone knows
At least somebody
Was it somebody that you really loved?!

Baby, do I need your sweet love to help get me through
They said my husband died a great hero
The mayor proclaimed that he knew no fear, though
I can’t feel a thing because I don’t feel it with you!

But you won’t be here when the baby cries
Some other baby will have her eyes dried cause you were there
No you won’t be here when your baby cries
And not having you to dry my eyes is more than I can bear!

But you won’t be here when I get home!
Some other man’s coming home to his wife cause you were there
No, you won’t be here when I get home
And not having you to share my home is more than I can bear!
