I really can’t explain it-
When something dies inside...
We act like nothing’s happened,
Our emotions try to hide...
But there’s an aching hollow,
Somewhere deep within the heart-
With the agony to follow,
When you’re finally far apart.

But it falls beneath the heading:
“That is all a part of life”!
Be it, when you lose a husband-
Your children, or your wife...
A friend you’ve known since childhood-
Or your peace gives way to strife-
It all falls beneath the heading-
“That is all a part of life”!

Maybe when your future,
At your feet in ashes lies...
Or your dear one has betrayed you-
To your dismay and great surprise.
Or you’re told to set in order-
Your affairs, for death is nigh...
It all falls beneath the heading-
“That is all a part of life”!

"That Is All A Part of Life" yep that's what they say. Just don't want to accept it. Nothing can ease that deep lost feeling.
