Nearness is to love

broken and blue
 I sit here all alone
 there's an emptiness inside me
 biding time just waiting for you
 it's all in my mind
 I try to tell myself
 take a breath and count to three
 and you're all that I see
 when I'm without you
 when you leave me on my own
 minutes hours turn to days
 and I just don't know what to do
 I'm nothing without you
 don't ever let me go
 words of fondness is to broken hearts
 as nearness is to love
 look in those eyes
 you've known it all along
 ever patient in your silence
 though your warmth is more than enough
 I'm sorry that I
 I haven't been myself
 don't you know it's clear to see
 that you're all that I need
 when I'm without you
 when you leave me on my own
 minutes hours turn to days
 and I just don't know what to do
 I'm nothing without you
 don't ever let me go
 words of fondness is to broken hearts
 as nearness is to love
 maybe I'm asking too much
 but there's no other way
 so I pray that you're always by my side
 when I'm without you
 abandon me by myself
 minutes hours turn to days
 and I just don't know what to do
 saying I love you
 it's not what I want at all
 words of fondness is to broken hearts
 as nearness is to love
 when I'm without you
 when you leave me on my own
 minutes hours turn to days
 and I just don't know what to do
 I'm nothing without you
 don't ever let me go
 words of fondness is to broken hearts
 as nearness is to love
 by my side your nearness is to love
