[Verse 1:]
As I glance across the table
Your empty chair is out of place
Living here just ain't that easy now
But there are signs of trying on my face

[Chorus:]
We need you
You're the strength
You're the sunshine of our days
We need you
And the wisdom of your ways

In our dreams
You are here
When we wake you disappear
Without you
Life is one long lonely day

[Verse 2:]
Both the kids
They still love you
You know
They always ask me
When is Daddy coming home
Then we talk and laugh about the good times
Without you
They still feel so alone
[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Someone's knocking
At the door of my heart
Telling me what we need is a brand new start
That ain't true
We need you

In our dreams
You are here
When we wake
You disappear
Without you
Life is one long lonely day

We need you
We need you
In our dreams you are here
When we wake you disappear

Without you
Life is one long lonely day
We need you
We need you
In our dreams
You are here
When we wake
You disappear
Without you
Life is one long lonely day
