The minute you're gone I cry

The minute you're gone I die

Before you walk out of sight

I'm like a child all alone at night.



I stare into emptiness

I'm filled with such loneliness

The world goes from right to wrong

The minute you're gone.



The minute you're gone, I see

How lonely a man I'd be

My life would be oh, so blue

If I couldn't be with you.



The minute you're gone, I pray

The minute you're gone I say

Please don't be away too long

The minute you're gone.



The minute you're gone I see

How lonely a man I'd be

My life would be oh, so blue

If I couldn't be with you.



The minute you're gone, I pray

The minute you're gone I say

Please don't stay away too long

The minute you're gone...
