There's something missing now
there's something missing now
for it will never be the same
not without you

Still can't believe it's so
that you would ever go
and now, in every room
you're like a haunting tune

Your whispered words I here
your footsteps, coming near
my lips can't help but call your name speak about you

But though I call and call
no answer comes at all
I face reality
there's no one here but me

The moon shines not as bright
the stars with dimmer lights
the birds don't sing their evening song
not without you

And that's how it will be
'til you come back to me
for in my heart somehow
there's something missing now

There's something missing now
there's something missing now
for it will never be the same
not without you

There's something missing now
there's something missing now
there's something missing now
[fade out]
there's something missing now
there's something missing now
