When You're Away Songtext
von Robert Ellis

When you′re away little things overwhelm me
When you're away nobody can tell me
That there′s any reason to get out of the bed
I open my eyes and see nothing
And when you're away I just don't feel like singing
The words come but without any meaning
What did I do before you came along
And showed me how life could be

When you′re here
I can finally catch my breath again
I′m only happy when you're here
Nothing makes me feel the way I feel when you′re near
Don't go away again


′Cause when you're away all I do is remember
When you′re away there are no waves on the water
Had I never met you I might never have known
Just how good life could be
Just yesterday I was happy as a goldfish
Now I'm drowning in an ocean of what ifs
Don't think I′ll ever be the same

When you′re here
Oh honey I can finally catch my breath again
Well I'm only happy when you′re here
Nothing makes me feel the way I feel when you're near
Well don′t go away again

When you're here
Oh I can finally catch my breath again
Well I′m only happy when you're here
