Circumstances separate us
The distance not in miles
Oh, how I miss your gentle touch
Your kisses and your smiles
How could we know, as you turned to go
It would be our last farewell
That you were walking away for good
Leaving me but a hollow shell
You haunt every waking moment
You visit in my dreams
Although I can't be with you
You live on in me, it seems
My days are now so empty
The hours just drag by
The nights are even longer
I hold my pillow and cry
I hear time will mend a broken heart
And oh, how time does fly
I used to say these things myself
Now I know they're just a lie
Tomorrow will come, one after another
And somehow I must muddle through
What will help me be strong and guide me along
Are sweet memories of love that we knew
