When Things Go Wrong
The day we marry
We think things will be fine
In our new lives we fly off
Thinking that we shall never part
All of a sudden there is
A sad feeling in our heart
Something seems wrong
From the very start
Just take it easy
You know it will pass
Surely these things
Just do not last
Days, weeks, months
Have passed you by
All of a sudden
You are buried in the past
You begin to realize
It is not just about you anymore
There are children now
In this endless strife
These little people
Hold our hearts together
The key to our hearts
In this thing called life
As husband and wife
We sit on loves shore
Wondering why we can't love
Each other in the same kind of light
Our sad hearts know
This loneliness so deep
All through the years
We keep these things in our sight
Finally, there is nothing
Left to do anymore
We need to move on
And find some happiness before we die
We go on, and search for
Happiness on some other shore
We finally end this strife
And put a stop to this lie
Our children are there
They help us make it through
They have this way
Of bringing us out of the blue
We go on in our lives
And hope for the best
Finding new husbands and wives
Was what we needed to do
We make all these changes
So late in life
We give our hearts and minds
Much needed rest
We pray now for all those involved
And wish for them the very best
