Without You Here

(difford/tilbrook)

I feel so empty
As the plane takes off
I see the ground below
I know that one day
It won't be long
That you will also know
Just how it feels
To leave you now, a hollow shell
A broken bow
I feel so empty high up in the air
Where heaven's meant to be
The distance gets me
When i'm on my own
Without you here with me

My world is turning
But it's upside down
Now you're so far away
While you are learning
How this world spins round
I'm in some other day
What can i do
But give my heart
From far away
A distant spark

I feel a challenge
For both you and i
That's how it has to be
In life there's balance
I hope time will fly
Without you here with me

What i am hoping for
As life moves on
And we reach finer years
We won't be thinking
Of the time that's gone
Or wading through our tears
We'll smile as one
And speak with pride
How life has swung
Back on our side

I feel tomorrow
Can't come by too soon
To bring you back to see
That love will follow
Like the red balloon
And you'll come home to me
I want you here with me
