Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When will I see you?
When will I need you?
When will I be with you again?
Since we've been apart
Each day breaks my heart
When will I see you again?
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me
When will I see you?
When will I need you?
When will I be with you again?
Since we've been apart
Each day breaks my heart




When will I see you again?
Tell me, tell me
