It Aches To Be Apart

When on my own I get the chance
   to do just what I choose
I've got the time for song and dance
   but I only sing the blues
'Cause what I learned right from the start
Is how it Aches to be apart

Sometimes it's fun to be alone
   when I'm alone by choice
But now I'm always on the phone
   enchanted by your voice
To hear you speak just thrills my heart
Because it aches to be apart

They say a man should learn to live
   in solitude to get
The wisdom lonely hours can give
   this may be true but yet
You just don't need to be that smart
To know it aches to be apart
