the minute you're gone

the minute you're gone i cry

the minute you're gone i die

before you walk out of sight

i'm like a child all alone at night

i stare into emptiness

i'm filled with such loneliness

the world goes from right to wrong

the minute you're gone

the minute you're gone i see

how lonely a man i'll be

my life would be oh so blue

if i couldn't be with you

the minute you're gone i pray

the minute you're gone i say

please don't stay away too long

the minute you're gone

the minute you're gone
