V1 You left our home because I was untrue Like a fool, I ran around and cheated on you You packed your bags and walked out the door I still hear your footsteps on the hardwood floor CH You’ve been gone a year But you’re still here Oh you’re still here (You’re still here) You’ve been gone a year But you’re still here Oh, you’re still here (You’re still here) V2 I found your earrings under a living room chair In the bathroom, I saw strands of your silky hair Your recipes were stacked in the kitchen drawer Your dining room seat is where you sit no more V3 Your sweet scent lingered in our bedroom The seductive smell of your favorite perfume On the pillow where your head laid for years I traced the stain of your silent salty tears You’ve been gone CH Although you’re never near You’re still here Oh you’re still here (You’re still here) Although you’re never near You’re still here Oh you’re still here (You’re still here) V4 I tried to sweep away the memories with a broom I tried to wash away the guilt, grief and gloom But nothing can cleanse my shame and fear Because you moved on but you’re still here (You’re still here) V5 And even though we go on, separate and apart You still live in the chambers of my broken heart You occupy the backrooms of my musty mind I have only the sad souvenirs you left behind CH You’re gone forever my darling dear But I also realize that you’re still here You’re still here You’re gone forever my darling dear But I also realize that you’re still here You’re gone forever my darling dear But I also realize that you’re still here You’re still here Copyright ©2023 Gerald LeNoir

V1 Like a thief, you stole my heart You told me that we’d never part But you lied, led me astray But I still want you to stay CH Twenty-four hours don’t make a day There are no stars in the Milky Way There is no right; there is no wrong And this is not a love song V2 You make me weak, I must confess You’re the key to my happiness But you belong to someone else So I must keep my love to myself CH Seven days don’t make a week And Aristotle, he wasn’t Greek Adios don’t mean so long And this is not a love song BRIDGE Babies don’t cry Flowers don’t die Robins can’t fly And I can’t lie This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song V3 You thrill me, girl. You light my fire You fill me up with a strong desire But you and I can never be And this is why, I’m sure you’ll agree CH Red apples don’t grow on trees Golden honey’s not made by bees Samson and Hercules weren’t strong And this is not a love song V4 You’re a treasure, one of a kind You give me pleasure, blow my mind But you just leave me hanging on And I know soon you’ll be gone CH Twenty-four hours don’t make a day There are no stars in the Milky Way There’s no right; there’s no wrong And this is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song This is not a love song

Sunrise, blue skies. Day dawns, the night dies. The day breaks, my heart awakes. The sun shines, you are mine. The world’s aglow, our love grows. Sunrise, blue skies. Sunrise, blue skies. Sunrise, blue skies. Through each day, our feelings stay. Noontime, your love’s still mine. The setting sun, our love is one. Evening nears, we’re here my dear. Twilight turns, our love burns. Setting sun, love is one. Setting sun, love is one. Setting sun, love is one. When day ends, It’s night again. The moon glows, our love flows. The stars shine, you are mine. The night is long, our passion’s strong. We make love, the stars above. Moon glows, love flows. Moon glows, love flows. Moon glows, love flows. And in the heat of the night, Our hearts are taking flight. We know our love is right And both our futures bright. And in the warmth of the day, We know that love’s the way And we’re both here to stay. Then comes the sunrise, blue skies. Day dawns, the night dies. The day breaks, my heart awakes. The sun shines, and you are mine. The world’s aglow, our love grows. Sunrise, blue skies. Sunrise, blue skies. Sunrise, blue skies. Sunrise, blue skies. Sunrise, blue skies. Sunrise, blue skies.
