Lyrics
Without You
By Tom Draughon
©2003 Heartistry Music BMI
When I fell in love with you, it took me by surprise.
I was all alone. You'd gone, and when I closed my eyes,
I could only see you and feel your tender touch.
Then I cried out, because it hurt so much to be without you.
Oh, I can't explain just why I feel the way I do.
Not a moment's time goes by that I don't think of you,
And long for the time that I'll see you again.
Then I'll cry out, because it feels so empty here without you.
Don't want to spend another day without you.
This feeling inside
Cannot be denied
An empty space that's only filled by you.
I hold you so dear
I always want you near
Please, say you feel this way about me, too.
And so I count the days 'til you return to me,
And we hold each other close, and share good company.
And for that brief time I'm in heaven so sublime.
Then I'll cry out, for you'll have to leave again, and I'm without you.
I'm never going to be the same without you...
Can't help it that I always think about you...
These feelings I just can't explain without you...
There's just a certain magic that's about you...
My life is just an empty space without you...
Don't ever want to be a day without you....
Don't want to spend another day without you...
Don't want to spend another day...
