When You're Away Words by Douglas Heyes Jr. WHEN YOU'RE AWAY When you're away The whole world seems to fade away Into shades of Winter Gray When you're away Day turns into Night Before the Night turns into Day The hours and the minutes All just seemed to tick away And everything I see and hear Reminds me of Yesterday I wake up in the morning And I can't believe you're gone Love is something more Than just the music to a song I just can't remember Where it all went wrong If Love is not forever Is it really there at all A siren song of fantasy That echoes off the wall When you're gone The world turns into watercolors That slowly fade away When you're gone The Moonlight on the Water Doesn't shimmer anyway The promise of tomorrow Is a million miles away And when it comes, tomorrow Will be just another day When You're Away I'd trade a lifetime for a day When You're Away Nothing really matters anyway I'll sing the same old songs And wonder why you're gone I wonder if I'll find you Down this road we travel on When You're Away....
