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 oh how lonely a man I'll 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

(The minute you're gone I see) oh how lonely a man I'll 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 (gone) gone
