To take away the heartache, to take away the loneliness I've been feelin' since you've been gone, since you've been gone To take away the loneliness I've been feelin' since you've been gone Don't you know, so many things they come and go Like your words

I guess I'll drown in my own tears If you don't think You'll be home soon It brings a tear Into my eyes When I begin I've cried so much Since you've been gone

(drown in my own tears) If you don't think you'll be home soon I guess I'll drown in my own tears It brings a tear into my eyes When I begin to realize I've cried so much Since you've been gone I guess I'm drowning in my own tears I sit and cry just like

But to see my sunshine again (But to see my sunshine again) To see my sunshine again Just to see my sunshine again Looking out my window (Again again) I can't help but think of you Since you've been gone away

I ain't missing you Since you've been gone, away Down this long distance line tonight Everytime I think of you I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here and your miles away And I'm wondering why you left And there's a storm that's raging

Since you've been gone And you needed to come home (Since you've been gone) And you needed me all along There's nowhere to go so just stay with me 'Cause since you've been gone, I've been begging you please To tell me you're not alright To tell me you're

But I blew it without even tryin' Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a very long time You wear it

I can get up and face the day Just fine all by myself Go out and take on the world And get it done like nobody else Ohh but I don't do lonely well Baby since you've been gone I leave the TV on Gotta hear somebody's voice I just need some kind of noise

don't know how don't know how, not to Love you I don't know how But I don't know how You said that time would ease the pain But I still hear your voice whisper my name Since you've been gone my world stands still You said I'd forget, but I never will

Oh, me, oh, my Dreams in my arms Is all I have to hold Since you've been gone Ever since you been gone I had a dream Thinking that you were gone Leaving me on my own And you, you was there
