Laying here beside you with the dawn
We cherish every every moment between the here and gone
Your bags are packed and ready waiting by the door
Seems I've seen you there 100 times or more
Tell me you'll be gone for just a while
Give me one last kiss and leave me with a smile
Promise we'll be through it all somehow
Should be used to it by now
Though it hurts me so I won't let it show
Every time you go away
There's nothing I can do to keep from feeling blue
Every time you go away
Now I know this ain't the first time
Lord knows it's not the last
You've run off to catch the future
Leave me clinging to the past
Though it hurts me so I won't let it show
Every time you go away
There's nothing I can do to keep from feeling blue
Every time you go away
One eye on the clock, my back against the wall
Counting down the hours until that weekly call
With every passing day the longing grows inside of me
We talk by satellite, I feel you beside me
Though it hurts me so I won't let it show
Every time you go away
There's nothing I can do to keep from feeling blue
Every time you go away
