Nearness is to love

broken and blue
I sit here all alone
there`s an emptiness inside me
biding time just waiting for you

it`s all in my mind
I try to tell myself
take a breath and count to three
and you`re all that I see

when I`m without you
when you leave me on my own
minutes hours turn to days
and I just don`t know what to do
I`m nothing without you
don`t ever let me go
words of fondness is to broken hearts
as nearness is to love

look in those eyes
you`ve known it all along
ever patient in your silence
though your warmth is more than enough

I`m sorry that I
I haven`t been myself
don`t you know it`s clear to see
that you`re all that I need

when I`m without you
when you leave me on my own
minutes hours turn to days
and I just don`t know what to do
I`m nothing without you
don`t ever let me go
words of fondness is to broken hearts
as nearness is to love

maybe I`m asking too much
but there`s no other way
so I pray that you`re always by my side

when I`m without you
abandon me by myself
minutes hours turn to days
and I just don`t know what to do
saying I love you
it`s not what I want at all
words of fondness is to broken hearts
as nearness is to love

when I`m without you
when you leave me on my own
minutes hours turn to days
and I just don`t know what to do
I`m nothing without you
don`t ever let me go
words of fondness is to broken hearts
as nearness is to love
by my side your nearness is to love
