More songs that fit my situation

I heard these as I was driving home and they just hit home:


Chi-Lites "Have You Seen Her"

Ah ah ah, ooh ooh ooh.....(Spoken)
One month ago todayI was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies
Maybe to the parkA
nd have a seat
On the same old bench
To watch the children play
You know, tomorrow's their future
But for me, just another day
They all gather around me
They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain
I know I can't hide from a memory
Though day after day, I've tried
I keep saying she'll be back
But today again, I liedOh, I see her face
Everywhere I go
On the street and
Even at the picture show
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen herOh, I hear her voice
As the cold winds blowIn the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen herWhy, oh, why
Did she have to leave
And go away, ohh ohh
I've been used to having
Someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lostOh, bop bop bop....
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen herOh, bop bop bop....
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her
Oh, she left her kiss
Upon my lips
But left that break
Within my heart
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen herOh, I see her hand
Reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen herWhy, oh, why
Did she have to leave
And go away, oh yeah
Ooh ooh, I've been used
To having someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lostOh, bop bop bop....
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her......As another day comes to an end
I'm looking for a letter or something
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know, hmm
I'm still a lonely man
You know it's funny
I thought I had her
In the palm of my handHave you seen her
Tell me, have you seen herOh, bop bop bop....
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her.......

The Fray "How to Save A Life"
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life




B.B. King "Ain't nobody home"

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, wherever you'd lead me, i would surely follow
Girl, you put me through some pain and misery
And now you are standing on my doorstep, telling me how much you need me
Baby, ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
Ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
How many times i begged for you to come home,
but you laughed at me and said let me Alone
Through my falling tears i saw you walk away
And now you're beggin' me to forgive you, but this time, baby, it's your turn to beg
Baby, ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
Ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
Girl, i used to love you, in ways no one else would love you
Gave you everything that i own
Girl, you can't come back here
Ain't nobody home (chorus: nobody's home)
Once upon a time, when you went on your way
But, girl, i hoped and prayed, that you'd come back some day
But time has made some changes, turned me upside down
So, you can beg me to forgive you, but this time, baby, you can turn right around
Ain't nobody home
Ain't nobody home
Girl, you hurt me once (chorus: ain't nobody home)
I hear you knockin' (chorus: ain't nobody home)
