I’ve been trying so hard to say
What it’s like now you’re going away
I’ve been trying hard to talk about loving you
But my tongue is tied up like a man
Who struggles and struggles as hard as he can
But still cannot find words to define, loving you.
And I‘ve been keeping awake at night
I try to relax but I still get uptight
All I have in my mind is thoughts of loving you
And you say you want me to be ok
Then why is it that you’re going away
When my whole world depends on loving you?
La-la, la-la-la-la loving you, la-la, la-la-la-la loving you
Nothing I’d rather do than be loving you.
And I know that one day soon you’ll return
The world is so big and there’s so much to learn
But all that I want to learn about is loving you
And you say you’ll send me a long e-mail
But I don’t know those things always fail
To say what it’s like to be living my life for loving you
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
But my darling how much longer
Deny me the opportunity to be loving you
Cause I know tonight when that moon is high
I’ll look at our empty bed and I’ll cry
That’s just the price that I pay for loving you.
Great big beautiful orange moon, hanging in the air like a big fat balloon
I’d give that moon and every tune to be loving you.
