Lost and awaiting my fate, I wander
Far from your shelter, far from your love
Just like a lark in the midnight hour
The song I'm singing is just a sigh

When you're not here, the flowers don't blossom
When you're not here, I'm lost on an ocean
And the night is long and always silent
Staring at a star that never shines

When you're not here, nothing seems to matter
All hope is gone when you're not around
Helplessly waiting while my heart is breaking
Everything's blue when you're not around

When you are near me, the dawn starts glowing
Bright as a morning beneath the sun
Yours is a love that could move a mountain
And life is laughter when you're around

But when you're not here, the flowers don't blossom
When you're not here, I'm lost on an ocean
And the night is long and always silent
Staring at a star that never shines

When you're not here, nothing seems to matter
All hope is gone when you're not around
Helplessly waiting while my heart is breaking
Everything's blue when you're not around
