Topic: Sadly, this song is true

A little over a year ago I wrote the song " Tears in Our Eyes "

Today I was reading the news and this article about a young couple with three children  from Wellington caught my attention. As I was reading the article, my mind immediately drifted to the words of that song.

this is the link to the article: http://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/what … spartandhp

Unfortunately, it is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking as I wrote the song .  I feel so terrible for the lady......
just a reminder to never go to bed with "Tears in our Eyes"

Phill did, at least what I think was,  a wonderful performance of it. Here is the link to it on soundcloud in case you have never heard his version

[Em] If we knew that we’d [C] never see each other a [G] gain
[C]What would we [G]say in our  last good [D] byes

[G] House needs [D] cleaning and the lawn needs [Em] mowin’
[C] Seems you’re always [G]coming whenever I’m [D] goin’

[G]   Bills are on the  [D] table stacked a mile [Em] high
[C] love to see a [G] movie but we don’t have the [D] time   
[G] The kids keep us [D] busy running here and [Em] there
[C] I'd love to be with [G] you, but I don’t know [D] where
[soc]

Chorus

[Em] If we knew that we’d [C] never see each other a [G] gain
[C] What would we [G] say in our  last good [D] byes
[Em] Well you never [C] know what to morrow [G] brings
so Honey [C]   let’s never [G] sleep  with tears in our [D] eyes
[eoc]

[G] well life can be [D] cruel and  make you  [Em] cry
[C] full of broken [G] dreams that all   seem to [D] die
[G] remember our [D] love will always  gets us [Em] through
[C] ain't   nothing   [G] coming 'tween  me and  [D]you

Your song is a good reminder to remember to treat each moment as if it's your last
