Each night I sit all alone and cry Longing to be back with you I thought a little time would change your mind And we could start over anew If absence makes the heart grow fonder Why am I feeling so blue? If absence makes the heart grow stronger Then why is mine breaking in two? The distance we keep from each other Is making it hard to believe That absence makes the heart grow fonder 'Cause you couldnt be farther from me If absence makes the heart grow fonder Why am I feeling so blue? If absence makes the heart grow stronger Then why is mine breaking in two? Day after day I still wait and pray Hoping that our love will mend And your sweet embrace is all it would take To start my heart beating again If absence makes the heart grow fonder Why am I feeling so blue? If absence makes the heart grow stronger Then why is mine breaking in two?
