Away from you
There is no music,
There is no sunlight,
The world is gray.
Away from you
The clocks are frozen,
And time s a traveller
Who s lost his way.

The people I meet
Might as well be statues,
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek.
The room that I m in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It s dim and bleak.
I m half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through.
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you.

The people I meet
Might as well be statues,
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek.
The room that I m in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It s dim and bleak.

I m half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through.

Now my soul is afloat
On a wave of music
That I could feel such joy
I never knew.
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you.
