When You're Gone

My nights are long and lonely here without you
The days are bleak and wearing down on me
My arms ache now to wrap themselves around you
And bring you back to where you always need to be

It’s so simple can't you see
That you're the only one for me

Because I miss you when you're gone
Don’t stay away too long
I need you by my side
You make me feel alive

The nights are dark and long
And my days go on and on
Please come back home to my arms

I miss you when you're gone

You're the one I think of every morning
And the only face I dream of every night
The place for me is standing close beside you
So you can comfort me and make everything alright

It’s so simple can't you see
That you were meant for me

Because I miss you when you're gone
Don’t stay away too long
I need you by my side
Cause you make me feel alive

The nights are dark and long
And my days go on and on
I need to feel you now in my arms

Cause I miss you when you're gone

The time we spend together is so special
This is where we both were always meant to be
The love we share is timeless without measure
And I can see it now the way you look at me

That you miss me when you're gone
So don’t stay away so long
You need me by your side
I make you come alive

The nights are dark and long
And your days go on and on
You need me wrapped up in your arms

Because you miss me when your gone

Please hold me now in your arms
Because I miss you
Miss you when you're gone
