lyrics

Thank you for the kindness you smeared on my heart
See me through the mindlessness, I’m blind in the dark
The light has been extinguished, I don’t know where to start
Why’d you have to leave so soon?

Thank you for the wisdom you sprinkled on me
Following your footprints when it’s too dark to see
Down the path I stop to ask, Hey Danny it’s me
Why’d you have to leave so soon?

Why’d you have to leave
Me alone with these
Thoughts running 'round my brain
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so soon

Thank you for the friendship you’ve brought to my life
Whenever it went sideways you were there by my side
Driving down the highway riding I-35
Why’d you have to leave so soon?

Why’d you have to leave
Me alone with these
Words stuck here in my throat
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so soon

We talked about this
We weren't going to say goodbye
I’ll see you next week
Hope the Leafs win tonight
Dan it’s me, I’m here where are you?

Why’d you have to leave
Me alone with these
Songs to sing alone
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so soon

Sleep it off Danny Boy you ain’t got a care
I rolled out the mattress in the back room it’s there
I’m working in the morning if it’s boring who cares?
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so
Why’d you have to leave so soon
