about

Written in the memory of my grandmother, Nancy Sherman, 12/19/42-11/3/14

lyrics

On the first morning you were gone,
I watched the sun rise.
Spent the whole day cursing the world
How dare there be light in the sky!

If you're not in my life, if you're not in my life...
How will I survive?
If you're not in my life?

I spoke to you the night before,
Just the regular rant about my life.
And you said "Life's too short,"
Well, life's a cruel giver of advice

If you're not in my life, if you're not in my life...
How will I survive?
If you're not in my life?

And I swear that I could feel you there
In a quiet chapel
Whispering in my ear

And I pray that you will never leave
That you will always keep
The piece of me that you are taking.

If you're not in my life, if you're not in my life...

("There, but, for the grace of God, go I")

How will I survive?
If you're not in my life?

"There, but for the grace of God, go I"
Never wanted to say goodbye
How will I get by
If you're not in my life?

There, but for the grace of God we go
Clutching tight the hope that we know
You'll never truly be gone from our lives
