When You're Not Around

[Verse]
Morning sun creeps o’er the pines,
Your coffee cup sits cold, no lines,
The empty chair just stares at me,
No laughter here, no melody.

[Verse 2]
I walk the fields we used to tread,
Silent echoes fill my head,
Each blade of grass a memory found,
But it's a ghost town when you're not around.

[Chorus]
When you're not around, the colors fade,
The night’s so long, and I’m afraid,
Each day’s a storm, no peace, no sound,
My world falls apart when you're not around.

[Verse 3]
Evening shadows paint the walls,
I hear your name in midnight’s calls,
Your photograph is a friend and foe,
Brings you back, then I watch you go.

[Bridge]
Your touch, your voice, your warming smile,
I’d give it all for just a while,
To have you here, to hold you close,
When you're not around, I miss you the most.

[Chorus]
When you're not around, the colors fade,
The night’s so long, and I’m afraid,
Each day’s a storm, no peace, no sound,
My world falls apart when you're not around.
