My friends all say
That I haven’t smiled in so long.
I guess maybe they’re right,
Because I haven’t smiled since you’ve gone.
I know they’re concerned
About what I’m going through,
But I feel so empty
When I’m not with you.
I guess for their sake
I’ll try to be happy again.
How can I be happy
When I can’t be with you?
Just sit and feel so lonely
Is the best that I can do.
I’m driving myself crazy
Missing you each day.
How can I be happy
Since you’ve gone away?
I hope in time
That I can be happy again.
I don’t know if I can
Find the pleasure I felt back then.
When I think of you
Being so far away,
I feel such a longing
To be with you some way.
I know with you here
That I could be happy again.
