Work is piling up
On my desk
I sit here
Looking around
Just like the rest

My mind is on the last
That we talked

In a stressful world
Of hate and lies
Just thinking about it
Brings tears to my eyes

But when
I think of you
I don't want to cry
Or say goodbye

You give me a reason
To want to change my ways
Your loving words
Always brighten my day

When I'm around you
I can think
Of what I need to say
I want you to stay

Day is night
And night is day
Time continues on
Come what may

You are over there
So far away
So far away

All we have
Is our words
No voice, no touch
Nothing is heard

Our time together
Is built on a fantasy
Of how things could be

You give me a reason
To want to change my ways
Your loving words
Always brighten my day

When I'm around you
I can think of what
I need to say
I want you to stay

Only time will tell
What the future holds
Nothing is a guarantee
Oh I don't want to grow old
Without you
I want you to stay

You give me a reason
To want to change my ways
Your loving words
Always brighten my day

When I'm around you
I can think
Of what I need to say
I want you to stay
Don't go away.....
