Here on my own again
The hours pass so slowly
And I'm missing you so bad
My soul a shade of blue
Just waiting here for you
This feeling I have inside
It's killing me tell me
How long will I feel this pain
I can't wait for the day, when I see you again my love
When I'm gonna see you again
How long will I feel this pain
I can't wait for the day, when I see you again my love
A picture of you in my hand
Turning my heart to sand
My head feels so cold and bland
Because I need you Tell me
When I'm gonna see you again
How ling must I feel this pain
I can't wait for the day, when I see you again my love
When I'm gonna see you again
How long will I feel this pain
I can't wait for the day, when I see you again my love
When I'm gonna see you again
How long will I feel this pain
I can't wait for the day, when I see you again my love
When I'm gonna see you again
How long will I feel this pain
I can't wait for the day, when I see you again my love
