Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Not Here
Reflections bitter sweet
Thoughts of tomorrow we may never keep
Beauty of life in joy and pain
Make me a dove lord
Free to fly away
When the wind blows
And the sun shines
And the trees rock side to side
And the rain begins to fall
It's cause you're not here
When the night falls
And there's darkness
And the stars light up the sky
'Cause the moor refuses to shine
It's cause you're not here
If I could touch the sky
There'll be no reason for you and I
How I wish that I could fly
And be free as a butterfly
Here's tomorrow without promise
Just another day gone by
There's no hope for you and I
It's cause you're not here
When I'm lonely and I'm crying
Feelin' sorry for myself
I don't want nobody else
It's cause you're not here
If I could touch the sky
There'll be no reason for you and I
How I wish that I could fly
And be free as a butterfly
When you're not here
If I could fly
I'd fly away
Away from here
I don't want nobody else
If it's not you
And you're not here
