Sadly,
VanWarmer succumbed to leukemia
on January 12, 2004, at the age of 48.
He had written this song when he was just 18 years old.
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.
Now I miss you more than I missed you before
And oh, where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most.
Now most every morning I stare out the window
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me.
'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And oh, where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
You left me
Just when I needed you most.
You packed in the morning, I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.
Now I love you more than I loved you before
And oh, where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me
Just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me
Just when I needed you most
You left me
Just when I needed you most.
