"Nearness Is To Love" lyrics

Broken and blue
I sit here all alone
There's an emptiness inside me
Biding time just waiting for you

It's all in my mind
I try to tell myself
Take a breath and count to three
And you're all that I see

When I'm without you
When you leave me on my own
Minutes hours turn to days
And I just don't know what to do
I'm nothing without you
Don't ever let me go
Words of fondness is to broken hearts
As nearness is to love

Look in those eyes
You've known it all along
Ever patient in your silence
Though your warmth is more than enough

I'm sorry that I
I haven't been myself
Don't you know it's clear to see
That you're all that I need

When I'm without you
When you leave me on my own
Minutes hours turn to days
And I just don't know what to do
I'm nothing without you
Don't ever let me go
Words of fondness is to broken hearts
As nearness is to love

Maybe I'm asking too much
But there's no other way
So I pray that you're always by my side

When I'm without you
Abandon me by myself
Minutes hours turn to days
And I just don't know what to do
Saying I love you
It's not what I want at all
Words of fondness is to broken hearts
As nearness is to love

When I'm without you
When you leave me on my own
Minutes hours turn to days
And I just don't know what to do
I'm nothing without you
Don't ever let me go
Words of fondness is to broken hearts
As nearness is to love

By my side your nearness is to love
