Please understand br I mean you no harm br And on any other day br You might find me quite entertaining and charming br But not today... br br As I ring your doorbell br I wonder how it will go br Will you be angry and upset? br Will you deny what I tell you? br Will you flail your arms and smack me? br Or will you lose your grasp br And slide into that unconscious slumber br Of the shell shocked? br br There is no easy way to tell you this br You need to have a seat br If there were any other way br That I could change things for you br You can bet...I would br But I can't... br Your loved one died today... br Pause, while it sinks in br If in fact it does br br Your loved one died today... br I've said these words br Time and time again br And... br It never gets any easier br br And I stay...I stay...and stay... br And sometimes stay even longer than that br Until I know br That I have cared for you br And left you in capable and loving hands br Who will help you br br Your loved one died today br And if I could change that...
