The minute you're gone I cry The minute you're gone I die Before you walk out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness The world goes from right to wrong The minute you're gone The minute you're gone I see How lonely a man I'll be My life would be oh so blue If I couldn't be with you The minute you're gone I pray The minute you're gone I say Please don't stay away too long The minute you're gone The minute you're gone I see How lonely a man I'll be My life would be oh so blue If I couldn't be with you The minute you're gone I pray The minute you're gone I see Please don't stay away too long The minute you're gone
