I Miss You, Mr Simmonds 1
Sad Ballad
[Verse 1] The whiteboard is clean, the classroom is still A sudden quiet that's heavy and chill Mr Simmonds, you left us too soon, An empty desk in the middle of June Your passing wasn't the worst thing itself It's the empty chair left in the room It's the flowers that will never bloom [Chorus] And I can't keep on living this life Without you by my side I've lost all my pride And all my joy I hope you're peaceful in heaven But don't praise God- he took you away Into a world that you and I aren't together I miss you, I miss you [Verse 2] The KFC bucket you would always eat from But now to death you have sucuumbed That great laugh of yours I'll remember you with the dove that soars You're gone- You're gone And every day I cry till dawn I miss your presence I miss your essence The world is cruel, so, so cruel I still remember when you taught us at school The things you so generously gave But now I weep at your grave [Chorus] And I can't keep on living this life Without you by my side I've lost all my pride And all my joy I hope you're peaceful in heaven But don't praise God- he took you away Into a world that you and I aren't together I miss you, I miss you [Verse 3] Did you know how much those small moments would mean? The world has completely changed since you left the scene I wish I had thanked you before you walked away For believing in me when the skies were all grey The lessons you wrote are still marked in my mind Though I'm learning to leave the deep sorrow behind [Chorus] And I can't keep on living this life Without you by my side I've lost all my pride And all my joy I hope you're peaceful in heaven But don't praise God- he took you away Into a world that you and I aren't together I miss you, I miss you [Verse 4] I find my new hope in the stories we share Your lessons surviving in the clothes that we wear Thank you for giving your heart to the class Building up futures you knew would outlast You left us stronger, taught us to strive So rest in peace Go up to the sky Where the Sharks win every match Thank you for everything
