[Verse 1]
When I'm gone
Will you take good care of everything?
Will you keep wearing your wedding ring
When I'm gone?
And when I'm gone
Will you take out all the photographs?
Maybe spend a moment in the past
When I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you miss me
In the night?
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
And keep me in your dreams
In your heart
In your life?
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do
When love is new
Just for a moment, be close to you
Pretending I'm still holding you
And even when I'm far away
The dreams will stay
And someday
After we've both chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me
[Verse 2]
When I'm gone
I'll be thinking 'bout you constantly
'Cause you're locked inside my memory
From now on
And I know
That we said we needed time apart
But your love keeps pulling at my heart
Pulling strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you miss me
In the night?
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
And keep me in your dreams
In your heart
In your life?
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do
When love is new
Just for a moment, be close to you
Pretending I'm still holding you
And even when I'm far away
The dreams will stay
And someday
After we've both chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do
When love is new
Just for a moment, be close to you
Pretending I'm still holding you
And even when I'm far away
The dreams will stay
And someday
After we've both chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me
[Outro]
Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do
When love is new
Just for a moment, be close to you
Pretending I'm still holding you
