Each night I sit all alone and cry
Longing to be back with you
I thought a little time would change your mind
And we could start over anew

Chorus
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why am I feeling so blue?
If absence makes the heart grow stronger
Then why is mine breaking in two?

The distance we keep from each other
Is making it hard to believe
That absence makes the heart grow fonder
Cause you couldn’t be farther from me

Chorus
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why am I feeling so blue?
If absence makes the heart grow stronger
Then why is mine breaking in two?

Day after day I still wait and pray
Hoping that our love will mend
And your sweet embrace is all it would take
To start my heart beating again

Chorus
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why am I feeling so blue?
If absence makes the heart grow stronger
Then why is mine breaking in two?
