Learning To Live With Myself

I learned how to live with my darling

God took my darling away

Down through the years

He took all my peers

Left me here and to play

It’s hard to handle the loneliness

Harder to maintain my health

Til he gives me my call

Hardest of all

Will be Learning to live with myself

Learning to live with myself

A lesson that’s so hard to learn

Even locked down in a prison

There is a cellmate with friendship to earn

It’s harder to face up to the mirror

Leave all the habits on the shelf

Until he gives me my call

Hardest of all

Will be Learning to live with myself
