When You're Not Around

The clock ticks slow when you're not around

My heart skips beats but makes no sound

The days drag on, the nights feel long

Without your touch, where do I belong?

When you're not around, the world turns grey

The sunshine hides and clouds hold sway

I miss your smile, your gentle grace

It's lonely here in this quiet place

Our favorite tunes, they miss the beat

Without your rhythm, life's incomplete

I hear your laughter in the rain

But echoes fade and I'm left in pain

When you're not around, the world turns grey

The sunshine hides and clouds hold sway

I miss your smile, your gentle grace

It's lonely here in this quiet place

The stars don't shine, the moon feels bland

I search for you and hold my hand

The love we shared seems now a dream

A silent movie without a theme

When you're not around, the world turns grey

The sunshine hides and clouds hold sway

I miss your smile, your gentle grace

It's lonely here in this quiet place
