Since You Went Away

Written by Michael S. Hysinger – michaelhysinger@yahoo.com

Since you went away

It seems a year it’s been a day and

I know you said we’re through

But I still hope to be with you again

I know I’ll see you soon

And you’ll be happy too, You’ll see

For you still love me

I see you now turning around, trying to come back to me

I see your smile, you know very soon together we’ll be

I hope that I’m not deceiving myself – can’t live without you

I remember when

I first saw you – you smiled and then

You turned to walk away

But then you turned back as though to stay

Your eyes they held me there

Where are they now? I still see them smile

Still see you looking at me

So now I’m sure that you’re on your way back to me

You’ll be here soon I think – I mean I know you’re coming – You’ll see

I could be wrong but I’m – I’m not willing to see

I’m waiting – waiting here for you

Tell me – tell me we’re not through

I’m still in love with you

The truth is – it’s just not true

Since you went away

Don’t feel like talking I’ve got nothing to say

I feel the emptiness

Of where you stood – your warm caress

Is what I miss the most

I’m not deceiving myself – I’m really not deceiving myself - When I say

That you are here right beside me telling me you love me again

I see you clearly standing – reaching out to hold my hand

And I still feel the storm – It’s raining inside and outside too

Outside you

Since you went away

It seems like years - been sixty days

I know you’re coming back, I think, I mean I’m sure

You’ll see – Oh please
