See you watching from afar,
But I don't know why
You don't listen very long,
Any more,
Any more.
Sit and play our favourite song,
You used to sing and dance along,
But your chair sits empty,
Leaves me wondering
Where you've gone,
Where you've gone.
And you don't have to say,
I've seen it in your eyes,
You're going away.
And I can only pray
That you'll be back again someday.
'Cause I can't wait too long,
To play our favourite song.
Filled with nothing but regret,
And empty faces.
And a space reserved for two,
Just for two,
Me and you.
And now the light begins to fade,
And you've been gone so many days.
What can I do, what can I say?
Just disarray,
Disarray,
Disarray.
And you don't have to say,
I've seen it in your eyes,
You're going away.
And I can only pray
That you'll be back again someday.
'Cause I can't wait too long,
To play our favourite song.
'Cause I can't wait too long,
To play our favourite song.
