There's an empty place beside me,
|
When I'm walkin' down the street.
|
That's the place where you used to walk,
|
The place where you held my hand.
|
Now I reach and all I touch is space,
|
An empty, empty place.
|
|
Sadness and tears, that's all you left me.
|
They're such sad souvenirs,
|
Of a love that once was oh so very great.
|
The greatest love, reaching all the way to the stars above.
|
And now there's not a star left in the sky,
|
And if you don't come back to me I'll die.
|
Only your embrace can fill this empty place.
|
If I don't fill this emptiness,
|
I know that I'll lose my mind.
|
Looking out and only seeing space,
|
An empty, empty place.
|
|
Ah, sadness and tears, that's all you left me.
|
They're such sad, sad souvenirs,
|
Of a love that once was oh so very great.
|
The greatest love, reaching all the way to the stars above.
|
But now there's not a star left in the sky,
|
And if you don't come back to me I'll die.
|
Only your embrace can fill this empty place.
|
|
Come back, come back, come back to me.
|
Come back and fill my empty arms,
|
I need your lovin' darling.
|
Your lips are lovin' darling.
