Away from you

There is no music,

There is no sunlight,

The world is gray.

Away from you

The clocks are frozen,

And time s a traveller

Who s lost his way.

The people I meet

Might as well be statues,

The words we exchange

Might as well be Greek.

The room that I m in

May be bright and cheerful

But to me

It s dim and bleak.

I m half alive

Until the moment

The door swings open

And you walk through.

And so you see

Why I can never be

Away from you.

The people I meet

Might as well be statues,

The words we exchange

Might as well be Greek.

The room that I m in

May be bright and cheerful

But to me

It s dim and bleak.

I m half alive

Until the moment

The door swings open

And you walk through.

Now my soul is afloat

On a wave of music

That I could feel such joy

I never knew.

And so you see

Why I can never be

Away from you.
