There's a letter on the floor

That I just can't read no more

'Cause the words upon its face

are sayin' goodbye

There's a plate upon the table

Filled with food I could not eat

There's a made-up bed

in the nextroom where

I couldn't sleep

I just sit and weep

Oh darling that's how it is

since you've been gone

That's how it is I'm so all alone

Now the curtains are

drawn in my lonely room

And the darkness fills the air

And this old empty

heart of mine is in despair

Even though the tears I shed

Washed the words away

I could still remember every word

you had to say

They just wouldn't go away

Oh baby that's how it is since

you've been gone

That's how it is I'm so all alone

Oh darling you knew right from the start

That my heart was in your hands

And your every every wish boy

was my command

That's why I can't understand

How you could leave me here helpless dear

Alone and afraid oh how could

such a mistake be made

But that's how it is since you've been gone

That's how it is I'm so alone oh baby

That's how it is since you've been gone

That's how it is I'm so alone

That's how it is since you've been gone
