I can’t sleep tonight.
Time stands still, nothin’ feels right.
I lay here wonderin’ what I did wrong.
Why wasn’t I there?  Now you are gone.

I see your picture and name.
Next to a headline of fate.
Tears only drown me in my pain.
I’ve been burned by death’s heartless flame.
I’ve been burned, won’t see you again.

(Chorus)

 Front page news, obituary blues.
 It’s too damn late, nothin’ I can do.
 It’s front page news.  I should have been with you.
 It’s too damn late, obituary blues.

I feel confused tonight.
One deadly memory consumes my mind.
Where is love?   I feel so much pain.
Where are you?  To touch me again.

(Chorus)

(Bridge) Did you have to die?  Who was by your side?
  I was late for you.  Too damn late for you.

(Chorus)
