Lyrics: Lisa Stansfield. Real Love. Whenever You're Gone.

I can't go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, I'll see it all more clearly
All of the tears you've seen my cry, you'll take them all away

If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind just come and hold me tight

Whenever you're gone it's lonely
Whenever you're gone I can't face the light of day
It's too many times I've been on my own
With a burning in my heart whenever you're gone

Look at the face you see before you, can't you be open to me?
Can't you believe what we have, don't throw it away?
Believe in me now don't criticize, it's only the beginning
Can't you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say?

If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind and I will hold you tight

Whenever you're gone it's lonely
Whenever you're gone I can't face the light of day
It's too many times I've been on my own
With a burning in my heart whenever you're gone

I miss you so and friends don't understand
When I don't want to speak when you're gone I feel so alone
And I can't sleep for crying and deep inside I feel like dying

Whenever you're gone it's lonely
Whenever you're gone I can't face the light of day
It's too many times I've been on my own
With a burning in my heart whenever you're gone
