[Verse 1]
Each night I sit all alone and cry
Longing to be back with you
I thought a little time would change your mind
And we could start over anew
[Chorus]
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why am I feelin' so blue?
If absence makes a heart grow stronger
Then why is mine breakin' in two?
[Verse 2]
The distance we keep from each other
Is makin' it hard to believe
That absence makes the heart grow fonder
'Cause you couldn't be farther from me
[Chorus]
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why am I feelin' so blue?
If absence makes a heart grow stronger
Then why is mine breakin' in two?
[Verse 3]
Day after day, I still wait and pray
Hoping that our love will mend
And your sweet embrace is all it would take
To start my heart beating again
[Chorus]
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Why am I feelin' so blue?
If absence makes a heart grow stronger
Then why is mine breakin' in two?
