Now you're gone I can feel my heart is breaking, An' I can't go on When I think of the love that you've taken In the night I pray for your embrace, Every time I close my eyes I can't escape your face You're out of sight, But, always on my mind, I never realized My love could be so blind You're all I want, Can't you feel the love In this heart of mine (this heart of mine) You're all I need, So maybe we could turn back the hands of time, Maybe we could give it another try One more time But, now you're gone There's an emptiness closing around me, An' I can't go on When all I have left is the memory In the night I call out your name, I wake up in a cold sweat An' I'm all alone again I need your love Much more than I can say, I realize without you I can't face another day You're all I want Can't you feel the love In this heart of mine (this heart of mine) You're all that I need, Since I lost you, girl, I've been losing my mind (losing my mind) You're all that I want So maybe we could turn back the hands of time Maybe we could give it another try One more time Baby, just one more time Now you're gone I can feel my heart is breaking And I can't go on When all of my love has been taken You're all I want Can't you feel the love In this heart of mine (this heart of mine) You're all that I need Since I lost you, girl I've been losing my mind (losing my mind) You're all I want Can't you feel the love In this heart of mine (this heart of mine) You're all that I need Since I lost you, girl I've been losing my mind (losing my mind) I've been losing my mind Can't you feel the love In this heart of mine You're all I want Since I lost you, girl I've been losing, I've been losing my mind
