Oh, my love, why'd you have to go Lyrics

We used to walk through the streets of Accra

Hand in hand, never thought you'd be so far

But dreams called you to a distant land

Now I'm here alone, trying to understand

Every night I hold your picture tight

Wishing you'd come back and make things right

But you're chasing dreams under different lights

And I'm stuck with the memories of our nights

Oh, my love, why'd you have to go?

Leaving me here with a heart full of sorrow

The distance grows, and the days feel so slow

I'm lost in the echoes of our tomorrow

You promised me we'd meet again someday

But the silence shows what words can't say

In that foreign place, do you feel this way

Or has the hustle taken our love away

Every letter that I write, I bleed

Hoping you remember what we need

But time and space make it hard to breathe

And our future feels like a distant dream

Oh, my love, why'd you have to go

Leaving me here with a heart full of sorrow

The distance grows, and the days feel so slow

I'm lost in the echoes of our tomorrow

Separated by oceans, but still so near

Two hearts connected, yet filled with fear

Will the greener pastures bring us peace

Or will this longing never cease

Oh, my love, why'd you have to go

Leaving me here with a heart full of sorrow

The distance grows, and the days feel so slow

I'm lost in the echoes of our tomorrow

So I'll wait for you, my love so true

Hoping one day I'll be holding you

Till then, I'll dream of the days we knew

And keep my heart beating just for you
