I long to wake beside you
To hold you in my arms
Alone I sleep without you
In a bed that’s way to big

I miss the way you laugh
I miss your sweet caress
I miss the smell of your body
Your cooking I miss the most

I find myself thinking
Of earlier times with you
I want to have you near me
I need to have you soon

The time we spend apart
Does damage to my heart
My heart longs for the moment
That together again we’ll be
