My life has been empty
Since we’ve been apart.
I’ve nothing but pieces
Of my broken heart.
Each night has been lonely,
And I miss you, dear.
I need you to hold me.
I wish you were here.
I wish you were here
Giving your love to me.
Lying here in my arms
Is where you should be.
I wish you were here
Showing me that you care,
But darling, when you dream tonight,
You know I’ll be there.
I still can remember
When you held me tight,
And that’s all that keeps me
From sleeping at night.
I reach for my pillow
And I hold it near,
Pretending it’s you, love.
I wish you were here.
