Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I wasn't there,
The day you went away.
I never had the chance to say......
Goodbye to you.....
You gave all your love to me.
I always knew
I gave it back to.........
I cry for your,
Presence in my life.
As you would comfort
My sorrow......
If you were here,
You were here with me,
If only you,
Were here with me.....
(Chorus)
If I can't,
See you again.....
If I can't,
Hold you close to me.....
The memories,
That I hold so dear,
Will have to mend,
My broken heart......
If I can't,
See you again,
If I can't,
Hold you close to me......
The memories,
That I have of you,
Will be with me,
Forever more......
(Verse 2)
Suddenly,
You've left my world now......
It's cold and barren,
In that, place next to me.......
I'm so used,
To having you with me.
Now there's an empty void,
Within my heart.......
Forgive my, emotions......
Sometimes we take it for granted,
That things will last,
Last forever more,
That things will last,
Forever......
(Chorus)
(Repeat chorus)
