When I’m Not Around

I feel younger when I’m in your eyes
I feel stronger when I’m by your side
I need you there to make it right
When I see the future running through my mind

You can be who you want to be
I won’t stand in your way
You can see who you need to see
I won’t ask you to stay

But some words when whispered so quiet
Will not make a sound
And some truths when buried so deep
Will never be found
All that I’m asking of you babe
By only one promise you’re bound
Just tell me that darling you’ll miss me
When I’m not around

‘Cause I find riches in an open sea
And I’d dream colours in an autumn breeze
If I knew you were there somewhere
If I knew you were free
If I knew you were there somewhere
Thinking of me

But some words when whispered so quiet
Will not make a sound
And some truths when buried so deeply
Will never be found
All that I’m asking of you babe
By only one promise you’re bound
Just tell me that darling you’ll miss me
When I’m not around

When I’m not around
When I’m not around

If I knew you were there somewhere
If I knew you were free
If I knew you were there somewhere
Thinking of me

But some words when whispered so quiet
Will not make a sound
And some truths when buried so deeply
Will never be found
All that I’m asking of you babe
By only one promise you’re bound
Just tell me that darling you’ll miss me
When I’m not around
When I’m not around
