Away from you there is no music
There is no sunlight, the world is gray
Away from you the clocks are frozen
And time's a traveler who's lost his way
The people I meet might as well be statues
The words we exchange might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in may be bright and cheerful
But to me it's dim and bleak
I'm half alive until the moment
The door swings open and you walk through
And so you see why I can never be away from you
The people I meet might as well be statues
The words we exchange might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in may be bright and cheerful
But to me it's dim and bleak
I'm half alive until the moment
The door swings open and you walk through
Now my soul is afloat on a wave of music
That I could feel such joy, I never knew
And so you see why I can never be away from you
