[Verse 1]
When the daylight comes and I look across the room
I see you're gone
As the morning breaks and I reach to hold your hand
I can see, see I'm the only one
Well, your clothes are gone and your bags are packed
But the bed's still warm where you lay
Now I need your love to come shining through
To carry me, come carry me away

[Chorus]
If you choose a time, I'll catch the moon
I'll see you there
From wherever I am, wherever you are
We'll find somewhere
I see the same stars in the same sky
Shining down on you
I'll be looking up from wherever I am
And it's you I'll see if you're looking too

[Verse 2]
There'll be days that'll seem much longer
Some nights will seem so cold
And it's gotta come soon - please don't be too long
Don't be too long

[Chorus]
