Lyrics
SINCE YOU BEEN GONE by Richard C. (Kluso) Tollini © 2004
(1st Verse)
Mornings just don?t seem the same the sun it don?t shine like it used to
and I don?t believe I?m gonna go insane (but I just might be a little crazy) Yes its true
Now I just might have to leave here Alone
Cuz I can?s seem to get rid of this fever for so long
(Pre-Chorus)
I grew up in this town as boy but its not my home
(Chorus)
Seems like forever and a day?.since you been gone
(2nd Verse)
Coffee it don?t taste the same Without your smile and a little sugar
An? I try my best to make it through the day But my friends?they all see the difference
Now I don?t to pull out and leave here Alone
But I find myself falling even deeper into a hole
(Pre-Chorus)
an? I realize you?re so far away from your home
(Chorus)
and it seems like forever and a day?.since you been gone
(Bridge)
Now I don?t know how I?m gonna reach you
But tomorrow is sure to come
So I?ll find a place where I think I might meet you
And wait for you to come along ?cuz I know you?re sure to come along
Seems like forever (and a day) since you been gone
(Interlude)
(3d Verse)
Your face it seems to fade away like when night swallows up the sun
An? I try to hold on every day but my life always seems to take another turn
And its been so long since I hit the road alone
The old place just don?t look the same since its been sold
(Pre-Chorus)
An? I fold up all o?our memories in a place I found in my dreams of home
(Chorus/Outtro)
and it seems like forever and a day?.since you been gone
and it seems like forever and a day?.since you been gone
Seems like forever and a day Why?d you ever have to go away
Please come back an?tell me that you?ll stay
I?m so alone
