Lyrics
NOW YOU'RE GONE
I sometimes sit and wonder where I'm goin
I often wonder where I want to be
I often think of all the times we've spoken
Of the day that you fell in love with me.
Chorus
I never said how much I really loved you
I never said how much you meant to me
I never thought that I could love you as I loved you
I never thought that you would mean the world to me.
I remember the night that I first saw you
You smiled at me and we danced the night away
I remember how you held me close that evening
But my darlin' now you're gone I'd like to say
Chorus
But now you're gone and my whole life is broken
My heart feels like a dark sea full of pain
I long to have the love that you once gave me
And I wish that I could hold you once again
Chorus
