Oh, I miss you already and you're not even gone

The time has come, you're tellin' me goodbye
And I know I can't stop you if I try
I've had too many chances, now I'll have to set you free
I watch you go, too late, I know, how much you mean to me

Yes, I miss you already, don't know how I'll go on
I miss you already and you're not even gone

So kiss me once again and please don't cry
And I'll promise, there'll be no more alibis
I'll have to find myself a way to face this loneliness
I watch you go, too late I know, I've lost my happiness

Yes, I miss you already, don't know how I'll go on
I miss you already and you're not even gone
