The minute you're gone, I cry
The minute you're gone, I die
Before you walk out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night

I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone

The minute you're gone, I see
How lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you

The minute you're gone, I pray
The minute you're gone, I say
"Please don't stay away too long"
The minute you're gone

The minute you're gone, I see
How lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you

The minute you're gone, I pray
The minute you're gone, I say
"Please don't stay away too long"
The minute you're gone
