They have announced that they are to split in 2012 after 14 years following a final tour.

Westlife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm with you
When I'm with you you you
You... when I'm with you
What good's a memory
Without you there with me
The morning sun ain't the same
You are the summer breeze
The wind blowing through the trees
You make the loneliness
All just disappear
Nothing replaces your touch
Never stop believing in us
They try to break us
But we stand strong in love
They'll be no distance too far
I gotta be where you are (right where you are)
I don't wanna face this world alone
Without you by my side
You're the only one
That makes it feel like home
And I need you in my life
When you're not around I'm feeling
Like a piece of me is missing
When it feels like the day is closing in
Somehow I find the faith
To make it through
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you you you
You... when I'm with you
What's a photograph
If you're not in the other half
Why even dream
If I'm not dreaming of you
You make me a better man
Promise I'll do all I can
Your love keeps me bringing me
Closer to the truth
Nothing replaces your touch
Never stop believing in us
They try to break us
But we stand strong in love
They'll be no distance too far
I gotta be where you are (right where you are)
I don't wanna face this world alone
Without you by my side
You're the only one
That makes it feel like home
And I need you in my life
When you're not around I'm feeling
Like a piece of me is missing
When it feels like the day is closing in
Somehow I find the faith
To make it through
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you you you
You... when I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you you you
You... when I'm with you
Hey,
I questioned whether time or fate
Would ever show me a sign
The moment I saw you
That's when I knew
I feel it when I'm with you
I don't wanna face this world alone
Without you by my side
You're the only one
That makes it feel like home
And I need you in my life
When you're not around I'm feeling
Like a piece of me is missing
When it feels like the day is closing in
Somehow I find the faith
To make it through
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you you you
You... when I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you you you
When I'm with you
