When We'Re Apart

When we're apart,
each hour seems like a day
and if I listen to my heart,
it tells me what I must say

That I miss you,
with all of my being
and that I need you,
just as I need my eyes for seeing

That I love you,
as I've never loved before,
that I want you,
to care for, to hold and adore

When we're apart,
each day seems like a year
and if I listen to my heart,
it tells me that you must hear

That you have filled
my life with love again,
you've healed my heart
and soothed my pain

That you make me smile
and laugh and sing,
that you've changed my life
to one worth living

That I thank you for
the love you share
and that I miss you
more than I can bear
