While You Are Gone

The clock stopped running, darling

When you went away

The sun stops shining

And the clouds turn to gray

To me I can't see nothing in the daze

While your are gone

The birds did bow their heads

'Cause they all seem to know

How much I love you, dear

And wanted you so

No, there isn't no place I'd want to go

While you are gone, 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 her part

To cause us, darling, to be so far apart

So how can I repair these broken hearts

While you are gone

How can I repair these broken hearts

While you are gone
