The minute you're gone i cry The minute you're gone i die Before you walk out of sight I'm like a child all alone at night I stare into emptiness I'm filled with such loneliness The world goes from right to wrong The minute you're gone The minute you're gone I see How lonely a man i'll be My life would be oh so blue If i couldn't be with you The minute you're gone i pray The minute you're gone i say Please don't stay away too long The minute you're gone The minute you're gone
