the clock stopped running darling when you ran away
the sun stopped shining and the clouds turned to gray
to me i can see nothing in the days
while you are gone the trees did bow their heads for they all seemed to know
how much i loved you dear and wanted you so
there's not a single place i want to go
while you are gone i didn't realize how precious love could be
now it is plain enough to see
to think that i could live in this big cruel world by myself
loving you so much longing for your touch i know i'm just a fool who didn't play his part
to cause us darling to be so far apart
so how can i repair this broken heart
while you are gone?
