Nothing Compares To You

I was reminded of this song over the weekend and it wasn’t hard for me to change the lyrics to suit my situation. You’re sorely missed, Mummy. Nothing will ever compare to you.

It’s been eight weeks and three days
Since you took your love away
I cry in my heart and think of you every day
Since you took your love away
Since you’ve been gone I feel empty and lost
I can’t see how it will improve
I can cry my heart out or try to cheer myself
Still nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues

‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me God, why did she have to leave so soon?
I could bury myself in sorrow for as long as I wish
But nothing would bring her back to me
I told my best friend and guess what she told me
Guess what she told me
She said, ‘Girl you should think of all the good times
No matter what you do
And cherish the memories’

‘Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted, Mummy
In the backyard
We’re trying hard to take care of them
I know that living with me, Mummy, was sometimes hard
Yet I wish we could give it another try

Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
