I Long For You

Don't you go
Don't you leave
We'll be good
Just wait and see
So many things we never knew
Like you need me
And I long for you

I can't bear
To sleep at night
When you're not there
To close the light
Tell me why the world was born
What good's a world
When the one you love is gone?

Don't leave tonight
Don't close the door
No need to fight
No call to war
We could make it if we tried
A touch of laughter
A long goodbye

I can't go
But I can't stay
Life changes so
From black and white to grey
And old cliches that grow like vines
To choke the heart
Of the one you leave behind

The hollow laughter
And empty rooms
The morning after
Comes too soon
You could make the angels cry
But I can't take a long goodbye

So don't you go
Don't you leave
We'll be good
Just you wait and see
So many things I never knew
Like you need me
And I long for you
