(Difford/Tilbrook)   

  

I feel so empty    

As the plane takes off   

I see the ground below   

I know that one day   

It won't be long   

That you will also know   

Just how it feels   

To leave you now, a hollow shell   

A broken bow   

I feel so empty high up in the air   

Where heaven's meant to be   

The distance gets me   

When I'm on my own   

Without you here with me   



My world is turning   

But it's upside down   

Now you're so far away   

While you are learning   

How this world spins round   

I'm in some other day   

What can I do    

But give my heart    

From far away   

A distant spark   



I feel a challenge   

For both you and I   

That's how it has to be   

In life there's balance   

I hope time will fly   

Without you here with me   



What I am hoping for   

As life moves on   

And we reach finer years   

We won't be thinking   

Of the time that's gone   

Or wading through our tears   

We'll smile as one   

And speak with pride   

How life has swung   

Back on our side   



I feel tomorrow    

Can't come by too soon   

To bring you back to see   

That love will follow   

Like the red balloon   

And you'll come home to me   

I want you here with me
