(Dmaj7)Yes, I do, I be lieve that one day I will be where I was, right here, right next to you.
And it’s hard, the days just seem so dark.
The moon, the stars are noth ing with out you.
Your (Dmaj7)touch, your skin, where do I be gin?
No words can ex plain the way I’m miss ing you.
De ny this emp ti ness, this hole that I’m in side.
These tears, they tell their own sto ry.
You (Em7)told me not to cry when you were gone.
But the (Em7)feel ing’s o ver whelm ing, it’s much too
strong.
Can (D)I
lay by
your side?
Next to (Em)you,
(G)you.
And (D)make
sure
you’re
all right.
I’ll take care of (Em)you.
I (G)don’t want to be here if (A)I can’t be with you to night.
