and mean that you’ll soon be out of my sight,
they tear at my heart and eat at my soul
and make me feel I’ll never again be quite whole.
Those terrible goodbyes and that sad goodnight kiss
leave me yearning for love that without you I miss.
Melancholy minutes when I know you must leave
quickly melt into loneliness that you can’t conceive.
Those sorrowful goodbyes and the time we spend apart
bring a shroud of dreariness to settle on my heart.
Only seeing you again can take away the gloom,
and fill me up once more so with love I am consumed.
