whenever you're gone

i can't go any further now

only if you come with me

only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms

if you come and look into my eyes

i'ii see it all more clearly

all of the tears you've seen my cry

you'll take them all away

if you come and open up my eyes and hold me

take me away and ease my mind

just come and hold me tight

whenever you're gone it's lonely

whenever you're gone i can't face the light of day

it's too many times i've been on my own

with a burning in my heart

whenever you're gone

look at the face you see before you

can't you be open to me

can't you believe what we have

don't throw it away

believe in me now don't criticize

it's only the beginning

can't you believe these desperate eyes

believe in what we say

if you came and open up me eyes and hold me

then i can open up my mind

and i will hold you tight

whenever you're gone it's lonely

whenever you're gone i can't face the light of day

it's too many times i've been on my own

with a burning in my heart

whenever you're gone

i miss you so

and friends don't understand

when i don't want to speak

when you're gone i feel so alone

and i can't sleep for crying

and deep inside i feel like dying

whenever you're gone it's lonely

whenever you're gone i can't face the light of day

it's too many times i've been on my own

with a burning in my heart

whenever you're gone
