lyrics

I won't take in that sunset to the evening
Though I'm watching it happen at the time
I won't feel all the beauty from the starlight
The perfect air on cool nights/ Ringing in (up) the chimes

I won't be at those birthday celebrations
Though I'm sitting with everyone around
I won't take in the music in the park
It doesn't make that spark/ I'm only hearing sound

What I feel to the bone, when you're not there I'm alone
And now my world's just not working again
Like I told you before
Until you walk through the door my darling
I won't be there 'til then
I won't be there 'til then

I don't notice the leaves in transformation
Though their colors are everywhere to see
When they've fallen and branches grace the night
With all those festive lights/ There's nothing there for me

I might dream and then wake up feeling happy
But that feeling will very quickly go
I won't show you the longer list I made
By now the point is taken/ I just miss you so

What I feel to the bone, when you're not there I'm alone
And now my world's just not working again
Like I've told you before
Until you walk through the door my darling
I won't be there 'til then
No, I won't be there 'til then
