Lyrics
She's Not Coming Back Home �©Najat 2004 All Rights Reserved
We were friends so long ago
And now there's something I want you to know
You were a big part of my life
When I was going you cut the ties
You cared so much you set me free
Showed your true love for me
We stayed great friends through all of these things
And now you've gone and got your wings
You're not coming back home today
People stunned in disarray
You fought through sickness and survived
I found out yesterday that you died
I miss you now like I did before
Opened old feelings like a sore
But the others are suffering more
Standing behind a big locked door
They called me to share the pain
Things happen that we can't explain
They are the ones who needed you most
And now all we have is your ghost
You're not coming back home today
People stunned in disarray
You fought through sickness and survived
I found out yesterday that you died
You're not coming back home
And you family's alone
And now we all miss you
No one knows what to do
