Whenever You're Gone

Lisa Stansfield


I can't go any further now, only if you come with me 
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms 
If you come and look into my eyes, I'II see it all more clearly 
All of the tears you've seen my cry 
You'll take them all away 

If you come and open up my eyes and hold me 
Take me away and ease my mind 
Just come and hold me tight 

Chorus: 
Whenever you're gone it's lonely 
Whenever you're gone I can't face the light of day 
It's too many times I've been on my own 
With a burning in my heart 
Whenever you're gone 

Look at the face you see before you, can't you be open to me 
Can't you believe what we have, don't throw it away 
Believe in me now don't criticize, it's only the beginning 
Can't you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say 

If you came and open up me eyes and hold me 
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight 

Chorus 

I miss you so, and friends don't understand when I don't want to speak 
When you're gone I feel so alone 
And I can't sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying 

Chorus
