Since you went away the world is standing still.
Since you went away my life has lost its thrill.
Since you went away the road is one long hill.
Since you went away,
Since you went away,
Since you went away.

Since you went away my heart has skipped a beat.
Since you went away my life has lost its heat.
Since you went away I miss your lips so sweet.
Since you went away,
Since you went away,
Since you went away.

Since you left my life it's started to unwind.
Since you left my life I've left the world behind.
Since you left my life you've proved to be unkind.
Since you left my life,
Since you left my life,
Since you left my life.

When you came to me I knew what love could be.
When you came to me my world was filled with glee.
When you came to me I wanted all to see.
When you came to me,
When you came to me,
When you came to me.

Now you're gone from me, won't even tell me why.
Now you're gone from me, won't give another try.
Now you're gone from me, your love has passed me by. 
Now you're gone from me,
Now you're gone from me,
Now you're gone from me.

Life is oh, so short, why can't we love as one?
Life is oh, so short, let's watch the rising sun.
Life is oh, so short, our lives have just begun.
Life is oh, so short,
Life is oh, so short,
Life is oh, so short.
