lyrics

Why did you have to go to fight for our rights and freedom?
And sacrifice your life so that we could live in peace?
You cross my mind each day
I should've stopped you from walking out of our door
Now I live with the regret
As the years go by, I get lonelier each day
I walk to your tomb, so I could be with you

I just want to know, why did you have to go?

I gave you all my love, and I gave you all my life
I gave it all for you, but you're no longer here
The countless memories of the days I spent with you
Those were the best days of my life

I tried to live my life, to find somebody new
But no one could compare to the person that you were
I look at our photograph so I don't forget your face
You're the only one I loved, but it just wasn't enough
It's been 10 years to the day and I still miss you, dear
I hope that you're in heaven With the angels by your side

I just want to know, why did you have to go?

I gave you all my love, and I gave you all my life
I gave it all for you, but you're no longer here
The countless memories of the days I spent with you
Those were the best days of my life

Now the time has come that I see you again
I've waited for so long, now I'll be with you again

I'm finally here with you
An eternity of love, til' death do us part
In heaven or in hell
My days of grief are gone, i'm finally here with you
Thank you, God
For protecting my true love
