She sang her heart out. Gripping the mic with her ice cold hands. Her eyes closed, remembering a better place than here. Anyplace but here.

When she finished her first song, the applause came. Her smile was strained and she let go of the mic stand to grab a glass of water waiting for her on the piano. There was no one sitting at the piano, but it played just the same.

Her next song always took more out of her than she was prepared to give but she had no choice. Singing was all she knew how to do.

Someday ya might wanna run away
And leave me sittin' here to cry
But if it's all the same to ya baby
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye
(Goodbye)
Baby I love ya (baby, baby, I love ya)
