I have composed a melody to a lyric by Miss Kelly Cook, in 2007.
Here is a recent recording I made. My voice + ukulele.

Intro: 4 bars (Key of G)

Walking alone with no hand to hold
This feeling will pass, that's what I have been told
But my life is falling apart
Oo-oo-oo Since you’ve been gone

I thought those three words that we said were clear
But nothing matters because you disappeared
There's no lights on here anymore
Oo-oo-oo Since you’ve been gone

I say I love you, I say goodbye
A rose to the ground, a kiss to the sky
I can’t stay around this old town
Oo-oo-oo oo-oo Since you’ve been gone ....

Walking through life with no friend to hold
Even on these days when the wind is so cold
I still want you right here with me
Oo-oo-oo Since you’ve been gone

The sun brightly shines on that graveyard stone
But it's not so bright when I'm here all alone
All my days have been in the dark
Oo-oo-oo Since you’ve been gone

I say I love you, I say goodbye
A rose to the ground, a kiss to the sky
I can’t stay around this old town
Oo-oo-oo oo-oo Since you’ve been gone ....

Tell me how can I make a stand over my sorrow
Tell me when will I understand? Maybe tomorrow

I say I love you, I say goodbye
A rose to the ground, a kiss to the sky
I can’t stay around this old town
Oo-oo-oo oo-oo Since you’ve been gone ....

Oo-oo-oo oo-oo Since you’ve been gone
