Every Time You Go Away
Brian McKnight Lyrics

Every time that I'm with you girl
Whenever I'm with you, I feel like it's too good to be true, like I'm living in a dream.

I can't believe you share my world
I'm amazed that you're a part of my life and I get to experience all these wonderful moments with you.

But it's real
As surreal as it may seem, this is actually happening and I'm grateful for it.

And every time that I hold you close to me
Whenever I embrace you, it feels like time stops and there's nothing else in the world except us.

Forever's all that I can see
I imagine spending an eternity with you because being with you feels like an everlasting love.

How it feels
The way I feel when I hold you close to me is unexplainable and indescribable, but all I know is that it feels right.

See I don't give a damn what my homies say
I don't care about what my friends' opinions are, good or bad, because their thoughts don't matter when it comes to you.

Don't matter anyway
Even if they do say something, it won't change how I feel about you and what we have.

See I never felt this way before
I've never experienced these intense emotions with anyone else in my life, and it's both amazing and scary.

You leave a brother want more
Every time we have to say goodbye, it makes me yearn for more time with you and to make more memories together.

I hate to see you go
It hurts me to see you leave because every moment we spend together feels so precious to me.

Even though I know when you're comin' back
Even if I know exactly what day and time you'll return, it still doesn't make the heartache of your absence any less painful.

It's hard to breathe without you girl
Not having you with me makes me feel like I can't function properly, like you're the air that I need to survive.

And baby that's a fact
It's not an exaggeration or an overstatement, it's simply the truth that you have that much of an impact on me.

I know sometimes you have to leave
I understand that there are moments when you have to go away, it's just hard for me to accept it.

But I wish you could stay
Despite the rationalization, all I want is for you to stay with me a little longer.

From the very first time that I touched you babe
Ever since I first touched you, I knew that you were special and that we had a connection that was different from everyone else's.

Couldn't find the words to say you set me free
I couldn't articulate how you made me feel when I met you, but I knew that I had found something that liberated me and made me really happy.

And every time that I kiss your lips
Every time our lips touch, it feels like a deep, passionate connection that only we can understand.

Nothin' ever tasted quite like this
The way you taste is unique and incomparable to anything else I've ever known before, like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Or got so deep
The intimacy and emotional depth we share together is unlike any other relationship I've ever had, and it's opened up parts of me I never thought possible.

You're the sunshine of my day
You bring light and warmth to my life, and without you, everything seems dull and gloomy.

You brighten up my night
Even in the darkest moments, you have the ability to turn things around and make everything better just by being there with me.

You take a piece of me with you
Every time you leave, it feels like a part of me is missing, like you've taken something essential of me with you.

Every time you say goodbye
Saying goodbye to you feels like I'm losing something precious, and it's a painful experience every time.
