Lyrics
What will I do when you go away?
© 2005 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)
Life like a river flows to the sea -
From mountains and valleys to destiny - but
Each grain of sand the sea takes away -
Is a day - that's gone!
Like a candle shining bright -
Love lights the darkest nights - but
Each moment more - the candle burns
Is a day - that's gone!
Springtime turned to summer
Then autumn came along -
But once the leaves had fallen -
Winter sang his lonely song:
Chorus
What will I do when you go away?
Will I stay alone and cry?
Will I search the whole wide world for you?
The ocean / and the sky
Will you call my name out loud?
Will I see you in the clouds?
Will you ever come back and visit me here -
Or will you just disappear?
Love - like a beautiful dance depends
How the song is played - but the music ends
When the night is old - the dancer goes home -
All alone -
Love is a story - hidden away -
A book of hours and yesterdays - of
Pages all turned - tomorrows gone -
Once I had a dream
You and I would live forever
In my dream I saw
Our hearts and souls together
But dreams are just the fantasies
We tell ourselves like fairy tales
With happy endings every one - oh no -- oh please don't
Go away - and leave me here
To stay alone and cry -
I will search the whole wide world for you
The ocean / and the sky
Will I see you in the clouds?
Will you call my name out loud?
I would wait forever to hold you here - but
Will you just disappear?
Will you just disappear?
