The minute you're gone I cry
The minute you're gone I die
Before you walked out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night.

I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
My world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone.

The minute you're gone I see
Just how lonely I'm gonna be
My life would be, oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you.

The minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone.

The minute you're gone I pray
The minute you're gone I say
Please don't stay away too long
The minute you're gone...
