I had a chance to think
Since you've been away
I've been down everything on my mind
Concerning you and I and our love

My feelings all seem to lead back
To that same old thought
That is "I love you and I really can't do without you"
But when you're gone, sometimes I feel like loving another

[Chorus:]
When you're far away
I can't get close to you
I don't feel wanted and secure
When you're far away
There's no one else around
To love me boy, I need you here
Come close to me
(Want you baby, won't stay here with me)

[Verse 2:]
My love is you is strong
But it can't make up for the distance
That you put between us when you leave
Each time you go
I wanna beg you to stay or take me with you
Life is much to short
To be waiting around for you to be with me
Don't you understand that I want you
(And I know that you want me)
But when you're gone
It doesn't seem to help my feelings
[Chorus] (2x)

When you're far away
When you're far away

[Verse 2]

[Chorus] (3x)
