If You’re Not Here (by My Side) Songtext
von Lea Salonga

Gotta catch that plane at 7:30
Why haven′t you come to say goodbye?
Time is running out and I'm still waiting
I′m so lost without you, I could die

Yesterday you said you loved me
Everything seemed to be fine
Today you're not here, I'm so lonely
It′s the waiting that′s driving me out of my mind

Don't know how I′ll sing in that big city
How can I perform if you're not there?
This will be the worst of all my journeys
The image of your face will follow me everywhere

I need your tender kisses
The feel of your hands, your caress
Your memory has me burning
My heart′s yearning to touch you, I need you so much


If you're not here by my side
Can′t hold back the tears I try to hide
Don't think I can take it
I know I won't make it
Make it without you

If you′re not here by my side
Only your love keeps me alive
No sense in dreaming
My life has no meaning
If you′re not here

I need your tender kisses
The feel of your hands, your caress
Your memory has me burning
My heart's yearning to touch you, I need you so much

If you′re not here by my side
Can't hold back the tears I try to hide
Don′t think I can take it
I know I won't make it
Make it without you

Oh, if you′re not here by my side
Only your love keeps me alive
No sense in dreaming
My life has no meaning
If you're not here
