Without You Here

I feel so empty as the plane takes off
I see the ground below, I know that one day
It won't be long that you will also know
Just how it feels to leave you now

A hollow shell, a broken bow
I feel so empty high up in the air
Where Heaven's meant to be the distance gets me
When I'm on my own without you here with me

My world is turning but it's upside down
Now you're so far away while you are learning
How this world spins round
I'm in some other day

What can I do
But give my heart
From far away
A distant spark

I feel a challenge for both you and I
That's how it has to be
In life there's balance
I hope time will fly without you here with me

What I am hoping for as life moves on
And we reach finer years
We won't be thinking of the time that's gone
Or wading through our tears

We'll smile as one
And speak with pride
How life has swung
Back on our side

I feel tomorrow can't come by too soon
To bring you back to see that love will follow
Like the red balloon and you'll come home to me
I want you here with me
