I know that you're only gone a few short days Help pack you up and stand there and I wave Then drive off into bright summer evening heat City shining and moving all around me Oh and if you could see me now I am turning to tell you something Oh and if you could see me now I am smiling all the way home, oh darling I've never been one to mind being alone Don't get me wrong none of that's really changed It's just that I've noticed everything tastes, looks, feels A little better when you're around me Is it true, what they say, that everything changes? Is it true, that one day we'll be ashes to ashes? I'll be singing Oh and if you can see me then I'll be turning to tell you something Oh and if you can see me then I'll be smiling all the way home, oh darling
