Nigel Ball - You Were Gone

I remember when I looked into your eyes
It took me by surprise, oh baby
What I was feeling
And all the time
I used to love to see you smile
We'd sit up and talk a while, oh baby
'Til you were leaving
And I could see you with the people that I knew
And it broke my heart in two, oh baby
And I never told you
I didn't know if I would ever see your face
When you walked out of my place, oh baby,
It felt so cold, yeah

And in the time it took to blink my eyes
You were gone
You know, I didn't even realise
You were gone

So I took a bag and I walked out
In the pouring rain
And my heart was full of pain, oh baby
And you never knew it
I thought about the time
I got drunk in the bar
And you drove off in your car, oh baby
And I saw you do it
Sometimes, it felt all right
But it would work out wrong
And I'd write another song, oh baby
And think about you
We lived our lives alone
And then I heard your name
And it wouldn't be the same, now baby
To be without you

And in the time it took to blink my eyes
You were gone
You know, I didn't even realise
You were gone
And in the time it took to blink my eyes
You were gone
You know, I didn't even realise
You were gone

So I look back now
At how we used to be
'Cause now it's you and me, oh baby
And you're the best, now
And all the other girls
Could never be like you
And I wouldn't want 'em to, oh baby
You keep the rest, now
I never felt so good
As when we are alone
Or talking on the phone, oh baby
What you do, now
And I still don't believe
It's happening to me
That's where I wanna be, oh baby
Right next to you, now

And in the time it took to blink my eyes
You were gone
You know, I didn't even realise
You were gone
And in the time it took to blink my eyes
You were gone
You know, I didn't even realise
You were gone
