Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
The narrator tries to treat separation as something that can be put out of mind, yet every empty room and lengthening night returns him to the absent lover. His denials give way to longing for contact and reconciliation. Forgetting remains an unconvincing refrain against the practical and emotional weight of living alone.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind Time to leave it all behind We’ll come round another time Put it all down on the line There's a mirror on the wall Down a long and empty Hall Since the time after the fall There is nothing there at all There is no reflection And no time to reminisce Like a wind with no direction Was there something that I missed? When I looked into your eyes The first time that we kissed? I'll make it through another night God, another night like this I almost never think of you I turn away each time I do I guess the day is long enough I'll try to stay strong enough But, when the rains do come again And the pain’s my only friend My heart is full of sorrow When I think about tomorrow You're Out Of Sight And Out Of Mind The Sun’s so bright, it makes me blind Sometimes, the world is so unkind So cold and tight between the lines If I knew where you were now I'd reach out to you somehow This has been the longest night Wishing you were by my side Should you ever come this way I pray you'll never go away But, at the ending of the day When the shadows come to stay I'm alone again today And the thought of life without you Is a thousand miles away It’s just more than I can do The thought of you not there Is much more than I can bear Did our love just disappear Right up into the air? Now, the days just go away Is it today or yesterday? I guess now, until that time You're Out Of Sight And Out Of Mind *********
