good friends find a way/ to be near enough to bend a shoulder warm enough when thoughts grow colder - good friends/ good friends only stay/ ‘til the circle moves much closer to/ the loving feeling they all knew as good friends/ and just to talk with you tonight/ takes the sadness out of sight/ makes the wrong words all seem right/ and in your laughing company/ i can tell how strong a friend you are to me/ good friends take the time/ for the love they bring to find its mark/ to light a candle in the dark - they’re good friends/ good friends realise/ there’s a world of joy beyond the pain/ where fallen dreams can rise again/ with good friends/ and just to talk with you tonight/ takes the sadness out of sight/ makes the wrong words all seem right/ and long before the night is through/ you will know how strong a friend i’ll be to you/ good friends find a way/ to be near enough to bend a shoulder/ warm enough when thoughts grow colder - good friends/ good friends realise/ there’s a world of joy beyond the pain/ where fallen dreams can rise again with good friends

2. as long as i know you love me
just thought i’d call to say hello/ and pass the time of day/ i can face the nights alone/ while you’re away/ long as i know, long as i know, as long as i know you love me/ your letters filled with sacred lines/ i read them every one/ darkness falls but i don’t mind/ you’re my morning sun/ long as i know, long as i know, as long as i know you love me/ as long as i know you love me/ whenever you’re thinking of me/ everything is possible/ you make my world so wonderful/ and as we watch the seasons roll/ time and time again/ when other stories have been told/ ours will have no end/ long as i know, long as i know, as long as i know you love me

3. an extraordinary way
he was an ordinary man/ in an extraordinary way/ he led an ordinary life/ in an extraordinary way/ never saw the light of day/ until he realised in time the time had come/ had to be someone with open eyes/ had to take it all the way/ and make some people understand the right from wrong/ when dreams had gone and hope was fading/ and prayers remained unanswered/ he fanned the fire in his blood/ the only way he knew/ he was an ordinary man/ in an extraordinary way/ he led an ordinary life/ in an extraordinary way/ what if you were forced to choose/ what if you had to make a stand or turn and run/ would you be someone who’d compromise/ take the story of this man/ who made his children understand the right from wrong/ when dreams had gone and hope was fading/ and prayers remained unanswered/ he fanned the fire in his blood/ the only way he knew/ he was an ordinary man/ in an extraordinary way/ he led an ordinary life/ in an extraordinary way/ when daylight came he was alone/ he had to lead his people home/ didn’t survive to see his vision come to pass/ he was an ordinary man/ in an extraordinary way/ leading his ordinary life/ in an extraordinary way/ he was an ordinary man/ in an extraordinary way
written at the time of the 10th anniversary of the australian high court decision named after eddie koiki mabo

4. old karri town
keep hearing those breezes blowing through the karri trees/ like some siren song across the seas/ all of my life they’ve been calling to me/ that’s why i’m in love with this old karri town/ you probably knew me well enough to realise/ i’d been searching for my paradise/ you put it here right in front of my eyes/ that’s why i’m in love with this old karri town/ “hold my hand, let’s walk this road together,” i could hear you say/ “understand that what we have is ours forever, come what may”/ most miracles pass me by without a second glance/ some, like this one, gave me half a chance/ came for the song and i stayed for the dance/ that’s why i’m in love with this old karri town/ what a fast, sophisticated life it was we used to lead/ now at last we’ve come to know that this is what we really need/ so maybe now picture you and me at break of day/ after loving half the night away/ here in your arms is where i want to stay/ that’s why i’m in love with this old karri town

5. soul to soul
i was a word without a sound/ i was the lost no-one had found/ always a wish without a star/ always so near and yet so far/ nobody’s harbour in the storm/ no arms safe and warm/ no-one to love, no heart to hold/ sadness in me, darkness in me/ cold, cold/ then when my lonely bed was made/ when every card i had, i’d played/ suddenly we came face to face/ you filled my cold and empty space/ each other’s harbour in the storm/ your arms safe and warm/ someone to love, a heart to hold/ burning for you, yearning for you, soul to soul, soul to soul, soul to soul/ beautiful mysteries unfold and we’re carried on the tide of our love as it flows, soul to soul/ each other’s harbour in the storm/ your arms safe and warm/ someone to love a heart to hold burning for you, yearning for you, soul to soul…

6. i wish you would change your mind
cold nights and misty mornings/ you kept me warm/ easy fixing broken windows to keep out the storm/ and now i just can’t imagine/ my life without you/ oh i wish you would change your mind and stay/ you don’t have to say goodbye we can give it one more try/ i can feel my heart breaking/ please don’t walk away/ i wish you would change your mind and stay/ so now we’re talking leaving/ two separate ways/ we’re wasting precious moments/ ‘cause there’s much more to say/ but don’t tell me - it’s all over/ you know i love you/ oh i wish you would change your mind and stay/ you don’t have to say goodbye we can give it one more try/ i can feel my heart breaking/ please don’t walk away/ i wish you would change your mind and stay/ don’t you remember how you lifted me when i was down so low/ when you told me you believed in me and i gave you my heart and soul/ but you had other plans/ baby how was i to know/ oh i wish you would change your mind and stay/ you don’t have to say goodbye we can give it one more try/ we’ve gone much too far now to throw love away/ i wish you would change your mind and stay/ please stay…

7. peace in my time
for a moment i could not tell where the voice came from that night/ a voice that seemed to know my name/ my eyes became accustomed to that smoky little bar/ i was only there to shelter from the rain/ the old gent in the corner was the one who beckoned me/ with tired eyes that burned a fiery red/ he had my father’s friendly face, my mother’s open smile/ so i pulled a chair and listened as he said: “let me tell you that i’m weary of this cruel senseless war/ a war that seems to know no names/ but freedom comes in packets and we all must pay the price/ to those soulless ones who gain from deadly games/ when you walked in this evening you looked so much like my son/ i took the chance that you had time to spare/ so i called you by his name, you see the war stole him from me/ and i need to share with you my precious prayer/ keep me cradled in the bosom of my beloved mountains/ where i can drink from streams that flow like liquid crystal fountains/ where i can live forever with those that i would die for/ lord, bring me peace in my time”/ that was many years ago and i can still recall his voice/ the voice that left that prayer with me/ i’ve become a kind of soldier using words instead of guns/ determined that my country should stay free/ my children are my blessing and i read to them most nights/ i always have my old friend’s tale to tell/ it’s just as fresh as yesterday when i am far from home/ and i share with him those lines i know so well/ keep me cradled in the bosom of my beloved mountains/ where i can drink from streams that flow like liquid crystal fountains/ where i can live forever with those that i would die for/ lord, bring me peace in my time

8. secrets of the heart
secrets of the heart, the heart will always guard/ falling out of love has never been so hard/ strangers in the making, strangers when they met/ one heart says “goodbye” the other says “not yet”/ slow it down/feel the need/hearts can cry/souls can bleed and die/ secrets of the heart, the heart will always hold/ how come eyes wide open don’t see love grow cold/ silence in the faking, silence when it’s real/ one heart says “goodbye” the other says “let’s deal”/ slow it down/feel the need/hearts can cry/souls can bleed and die/ secrets of the heart, the heart will share alone/ some things one can borrow, one can never own/ danger when they’re taking, danger when they give/ one heart says “goodbye”, the other says “forgive”/ slow it down/feel the need/hearts can cry/souls can bleed and die
lyric & music by keith potger 2003 circle music publishing
9. the matriarch
lo, the matriarch is weary/ loving mother, willing wife/ on her lips the silent query/“is this what becomes of life?”/ life and death have charged her dearly/those who’ve gone may rest in peace/ yet she dwells on what was nearly/still she pays for their release/ their release became her prison/so, condemned, she prays in vain/ to her god whose son has risen/zero joy through zero gain/ gain said she to all those questions/ she could never have foreseen/ from her past she begs suggestions/ one small clue to what they mean/ mean distractions come from quarters/ bitter pills from long ago/ swallowed with the cold dark waters/ as her tide of life ebbs low/ lo, the matriarch is tired/tired of sorrow, tired of strife/ still her soul remains inspired/ living what becomes of life
lyric and music by keith potger 2001 circle music publishing
10. your heart will always be my home
there’s a brave heart and a gentle soul/ giving me all the strength i need/ and that everlasting smile/ with me ’cross the miles/ i know your heart will always be my home/ there’s a blue sky over fields of gold/ calling me back where i belong/ with an everlasting love/ it’s you i’m thinking of/ i know your heart will always be my home/ touching down on sacred ground/ out where the sky meets the ocean/ bird on the wing pulls at my heart strings/ taking away all my travelling notions/ so my brave heart, sweet gentle soul/ you give me all the strength i need/ with an everlasting love/ it’s you i’m thinking of/ i know your heart will always be my home

11. welcome to the new sunrise
so much has been said before/ most of it not worth the time anymore/ whatever the way it was, there was a flame that burned/ some lesson learned/ for we who believe survive/ keeping our dream alive/ on the proud highway that will take us all home/ ’til the song we sing is the one we should know/ that you don’t take for granted what’s not your own/ welcome to the new sunrise, welcome to the new sunrise/ my friend, i can understand/ so many lines have been drawn in the sand/ with each other’s faith and trust we must give all we’ve got/for some will not/ but we who believe survive/ keeping our dream alive/ on the proud highway that will take us all home/ ’til the song we sing is the one we should know/ that you don’t take for granted what’s not your own/ welcome to the new sunrise, welcome to the new sunrise
lyric and music by keith potger 1999 circle music publishing
12. destination: you
didn’t take long to pack up and leave/ the shirt on my back, the heart on my sleeve/ the bundle of letters i kept all along/ that finally made me see/ you’re the place i need to be/ i’m gonna hit the ground running/ been a while coming round/ faraway lonesome/ that’s all behind me now/ lost my direction/ found it somehow/ nothing between us can slow me down now/ my wheels are in motion/ look out i’m rolling through/ destination: you/ it’s clear to me now that all i could see/ were all the somebodies i thought i could be/ i took it for granted i needed no one/ but here i am today/ one track mind and on my way/ i’m gonna hit the ground running/ been a while coming round/ faraway lonesome/ that’s all behind me now/ lost my direction/ found it somehow/ nothing between us can slow me down now/ my wheels are in motion/ look out i’m rolling through/ destination: you

13. déjà vu
i felt our two hearts collide/ they’re on a magical ride/ started a fire that burns through the night/ reflecting the love in your eyes/ i have loved you once before/ now i love you more and more/ it’s no secret to find you’re so deep in my mind/ it’s my second time with you/ déjà vu/déjà vu/ we’ve got it made you and i/ guess i’m the luckiest guy/ we found it all from the moment we met/ that moment i’ll never forget/ i have loved you once before/ now i love you more and more/ it’s no secret to find you’re so deep in my mind/ it’s my second time with you/ déjà vu/déjà vu/ time after time when i reached for the stars/ no flash of lightning shone through/ then i finally found that my life turned around/ the first time i saw you/ i have loved you once before/ now i love you more and more/ it’s no secret to find you’re so deep in my mind/ it’s my second time with you/ déjà vu/déjà vu

14. everything in your love
when i needed space, you gave me the world/ filled with good grace and warm tender words/ i gave up my race for diamonds and pearls/ you gave me everything in your love/ i searched for the light, you brought me the sun/ you gave me sight when my eyes had none/ in my lonely life when i had no-one/ you gave me everything in your love/ so blessed, so blessed, so blessed/ impossible dreams, you made them come true/ just when they seemed to fade out of view/ when what might have been was long overdue/ you gave me everything in your love/ so blessed, so blessed, so blessed/ when i was halfway i lost paradise/ time slipped away, you breathed me new life/ my beautiful days and wonderful nights/ you gave me everything in your love
lyric & music by keith potger 2003 circle music publishing
15. my holy grail
the scent of clove and wintergreen/ hangs sweetly o’er this silent scene/ the moon is full, the clouds a veil/ i leave to find my holy grail/ i long to find a heart of gold/ a lonely rose my arms can hold/ so warm, so wise, so strong, so frail/ my one true love, my holy grail/ though hard the road, though wild the sea/ her siren song still calls to me/ this captive soul will never fail/ to find my love, my holy grail/ i’ll love her more than words can tell/ beguiling heart i’ll know full well/ her smiling eyes, her lips so pale/ my one true love, my holy grail/ so warm, so wise, so strong, so frail/ this is my love, my holy grail
music & lyric by keith potger 2003 circle music publishing
16. island nights
staring down the halls of silence leading to my lonely room/ i feed my bar-coded life everything changing but staying the same/ tearing down the walls i built around the day that you flew away/ one lousy brick at a time i’ll carry each load ‘til i’m lame/ i need more of those lazy island nights/ with the sand crunching under our feet/ as we crashed down the beach/ water like wine and my soul on fire/ making love every crazy island night/ man, you really got under my skin/ i need less of this stress and more of those island nights/ wasted lots of chances waiting for the grand parade to start/ i wanted trumpets and lights somehow they never came out to play/ chasing you around the world my attitude was out of control/ that’s not what i had in mind give me the dream any day/ i need more of those lazy island nights/ with the sand crunching under our feet/ as we crashed down the beach/ water like wine and my soul on fire/ making love every crazy island night/ man, you really got under my skin/ i need less of this stress and more of those island nights/ we swam some fragrant pools/ and told some flagrant lies/ we languished under summer moons/ and drank each other’s eyes

17. kathleen
blown like a leaf on a warm summer breeze/ a vision approached me, as cool as you please/ with her strawberry hair and a wink in her eye/ to say i was smitten would not be a lie/ gathering courage i started to speak/ to ask of her name, but my heart felt too weak/ like i’d gone clear to heaven before i had died/ i mumbled the question, she calmly replied: “kathleen”/ well i remember my first motorbike/ with her riding pillion i’d not heard the like of her giggles and squeals as we leaned left and right/ and feeling her arms round my chest, holding tight/ whirlwind romances were never my speed/ but this one took off like a runaway steed/ when she said she was having the time of her life/ i knew then this vision would soon be my wife - kathleen/ oh kathleen, the memories you’ve left me/ they’ll be with me through all of my days/ thinking there’s safety in numbers, no doubt,/ accounts for the fact that the whole town turned out to behold how serenely she walked down the aisle/ but trembled and blushed as i kissed her sweet smile/ picnics on beaches and punts on the lake/ luck seemed to serve us a slice of life’s cake that was more than enough to sustain us through years/ when laughter would sometimes give way to some tears - kathleen/ oh kathleen, the memories you’ve left me/ they’ll be with me through all of my days/ then at the ball she looked ever so sweet/ heavy with child but still light on her feet/ every head turned our way as we whirled o’er the floor/ and i loved her more than i’d loved her before/ oh kathleen, the memories you’ve left me/ they’ll be with me through all of my days/ two caring children siobhan and marie/ a grand little grandson to bounce on my knee/ they’re a fine testimonial to all that was right/ in keeping our candle of love burning bright/ now as my life nears its own eventide/ it’s almost as though she were here by my side/ such a presence, an aura so perfectly made/ my beautiful vision that never will fade - kathleen/ oh kathleen, the memories you’ve left me/ they’ll be with me through all of my days/ kathleen/kathleen/my kathleen

18. friend like you
i don’t have to look any further/ like i always used to do/ no searching for some other unknown mystic lover/ now i’ve found the perfect friend in you/ there are those i’ve known for a lifetime/ others, they’re brand new/ they come through lucky chances, some from brief romances/ they’d all love to have a friend like you/ you took me by surprise/ i wasn’t ready for you something flashed before my eyes/ and suddenly i adored you, adored you/ i was never terminal lonely/ from my sheltered point of view/ my life was kind of simple, i hadn’t built a temple/ dedicated to a friend like you/ you took me by surprise/ i wasn’t thinking of you/ suddenly i realised/ how much i really love you, i love you/ on the way from cradle to tombstone/ there may be a lucky few/ who sail through life untroubled, floating on the bubbles/ in the wake of special friends like you/ when you took me by surprise/ i couldn’t help but follow/ one day vague, the next day wise/ to love you beyond tomorrow, tomorrow/ now i don’t need to look any further/ like i always used to do/ no searching for some other unknown mystic lover/ now i’ve found the perfect friend in you/ now i’ve found the perfect friend in you/ oh my perfect friend how i love you

19. SHANTY TOWN Words by Frank Howson/Music by Keith Potger
Trying hard to forget your name/Only got myself to blame You built me up just to knock me down/Now I’m bound for Shanty Town Goin’ down to Shanty Town/Goin’ down to Shanty Town Where lonely hearts just sit around/In their sea of sadness you can drown Way down in Shanty Town Never thought you’d betray my trust/Gave you love you gave me lust You stoked me up just to blow me down/Now I’m bound for Shanty Town Goin’ down to Shanty Town/Goin’ down to Shanty Town Where lonely hearts just sit around/In their sea of sadness you can drown Way down in Shanty Town The cowboys pine for the open range/The sailors stand lookin’ out to sea The gangsters get gunshy and start acting strange/And the lovers end up like me Goin’ down to Shanty Town/Goin’ down to Shanty Town Where lonely hearts just sit around/In their sea of tears that’s where I’ll drown Way down in Shanty Town Rollin’ home down a dead end street/Napoleon in defeat You set me up just to shoot me down/Now I’m bound for Shanty Town Goin’ down to Shanty Town/Goin’ down to Shanty Town Where lonely hearts just sit around/In their sea of sadness you can drown Way down in Shanty Town

20. THE FACE I CAN’T FORGET Words by Frank Howson/Music by Keith Potger
Dreams lie/And shadows loom/Love stumbles with a glass of scotch and doom You live again/In September rain/Near the Chelsea Hotel/Where we went insane So many things/I could have said So many things I’ve already said/That may have raised the dead I feel I’m adrift on the sea of regret/My only companion is the face I can’t forget Boys cry/And fathers run/We gamble for a place beside someone We lose our hearts/And never complain/Deep in Sleepy Hollow/Where we hide our pain So many things/I could have said So many things I’ve already said/That may have raised the dead I feel I’m adrift on the sea of regret/My only companion is the face I can’t forget Is that my phone?/Can someone get the door? Was that Elvis on the beach?/Did we break some law? So many things/I could have said So many things I’ve already said/That may have raised the dead I feel I’m adrift on the sea of regret/My only companion is the face I can’t forget

21. OLI-V AND ME Words by Frank Howson/Music by Keith Potger
I remember the days/Oh how sweet that breeze Shadows ran from the sun/Take me back there please And those hills we climbed/And the love we felt Just one smile from you/Could always make me melt Two boys/Many years apart Skinning our knees/Leading with our heart I dream a dream/Of the two of us rambling free Just like the old days/Oli-V and me/Oli-V and me I remember the nights/A word was enough Must’ve done something right/To deserve this stuff All those times we laughed/All the tears we shared Way down deep inside/I always knew you cared Two boys/Only years apart Skinning our knees/Leading with our heart I dream a dream/Of the two of us rambling free Just like the old days/Oli-V and me/Oli-V and me May you always know how much you’re loved May you always know that I knew/You loved me Two boys/Only years apart Skinning our knees/Leading with our heart I dream a dream/The two of us rambling free Just like the old days/Oli-V and me/Oli-V and me

22. ALL MY LIFE Words by Frank Howson/Music by Keith Potger
Your breathtaking face/The memory I can’t erase Time lingers to laugh at me/And all my misery Is hanging on the wall/It has no frame A souvenir, that’s all/Of a volatile game/Your volatile game I wasn’t made for your world of conflict and strife You hate me now but I’ll love you all my life Your Juliet fears/Our history of wasted tears I harbour a heart for you/And deeds we can’t undo So vulnerable inside/I stagger on My ocean has died/And our summer is gone/Our summer is gone I wasn’t made for your world of conflict and strife You hate me now but I’ll love you all my life It’s not your problem you say/Pack all that’s precious and go away You’re so damned proud/Another new notch on your belt You played to the crowd/Never knew what I felt/Never knew how much I felt I wasn’t made for your world of conflict and strife You hate me now but I’ll love you all my life I’ll love you all my life/All my life

23. THERE WAS A TIME Words by Frank Howson/Music by Keith Potger
Boy on a station/Long time ago now/Sitting with his mother/“Where are we going?” Man on a station/Some years have passed now/Keeping to himself now/”Where am I going?” There was a time/What a time/Such a sweet and bitter time But it’s gone now/What a crime/There was a time Boy in a corner/Heart beats with fear now/Watching his father/“Daddy I’m sorry” Man in a prison/Became his father/Nothing makes sense now/What were we thinking? There was a time/What a time/Such a sweet and bitter time But it’s gone now/What a crime/There was a time Wish you could have caught me in my prime/Ah, what a time Now I can’t help thinking ‘bout that boy/Wish I could find him Boy on a station/Long time ago now/Sitting with his mother/“Where are we going?” There was a time/What a time/Such a sweet and bitter time But it’s gone now/What a crime/There was a time

24. YOU IN THE MIRROR Words and music by Keith Potger
You sit on your step and you wait/You stand in the doorway as I close the gate, then we Dance with the rain sticks that rattle their rhythm/Will rain fall on London tonight? Framed by your wall the mahogany bureau is home to its own candlelight Silhouettes guide my hand straight to your sacred land You sit on the rug at my feet/You open the door and it feels so complete to see You in the mirror and me in your eyes/Drawn by your sweet fragrance I’m mesmerised Stripped of pretension we wear no disguise/And some way, some day, we’ll both fly away You fire the first shot to warn all the pirates that ply on the South China Sea I draw the rune of the spirit of wholeness, three times, what does that bode for me? Curtains that fall like a shower to the floor witness our craving for more and more The tapestry bag’s open wide/And we share the secrets of all that’s inside and it’s You in the mirror and me in your eyes/Drawn by your sweet fragrance I’m mesmerised Stripped of pretension we wear no disguise/And some way, some day, we’ll both fly away Read me your thesis and all the research that’s required by the thesis police Somehow you crawl through some unspoken tunnels but come out the end in one piece Never forget how important you are/Never let anyone hijack your star I breathe in the shelter of you/In pride and amazement at all that you do and it’s You in the mirror and me in your eyes/Drawn by your sweet fragrance I’m mesmerised Stripped of pretension we wear no disguise/And some way, some day, we’ll both fly away

25. HONEY FARM Words and music by Keith Potger
If the sun would stay in the sky all day/And the strength would grow in my arm I’d row across the sea so that I could be lying in your fields Honey Farm And when your bluebird sings it pulls the strings/Of my puppet heart on its flashing wings You mean more to me than the eye can see/Let me stay with you Honey Farm I can hear the breeze in the tall gum trees/Like a faint and plaintive alarm It tries to call me back up the winding track leading to your door Honey Farm And when your bluebird sings it pulls the strings/Of my puppet heart on its flashing wings You mean more to me than the eye can see/Let me stay with you Honey Farm And when your bluebird sings it pulls the strings/Of my puppet heart on its flashing wings You mean more to me than the eye can see/Let me stay with you Honey Farm I belong to you Honey Farm/Lying in your fields Honey Farm

25. LOVE ME AGAIN Words and music by Keith Potger
And there’s always so much I want to tell you/But there’s too little time for that I know So wrap me in your lovin’ arms and hold me/And love me again before I go Oh love me again before I go When you touch me I can feel my senses slipping away/‘Til the dark of the night becomes the dawn One half of me keeps wishin’ that I somehow could stay/While the other knows I really should have gone And there’s always so much I want to tell you/But there’s too little time for that I know So wrap me in your lovin’ arms and hold me/And love me again before I go Oh love me again before I go No you’ll never be without my love as long as you live/I’ll be yours ‘til forever come what may The more I get from you my love the more I can give/If I stop tomorrow callin’ me away And there’s always so much I want to tell you/But there’s too little time for that I know So wrap me in your lovin’ arms and hold me/And love me again before I go So wrap me in your lovin’ arms and hold me/And love me again before I go Oh love me again before I go

26. SLEEP TIGHT Words by Frank Howson/Music by Keith Potger
Night after night I stumble and fall/Through my weary world ‘til I hear you call You say: “Come back, all is forgiven”/You smile away my fears/You’re my reason for living Goodnight/My heart’s on the mend/Sleep tight/I call you my one true friend Wherever you are/Goodnight, sleep tight Day follows night to catch me undone/To find me in shadows where lovers love no one They cry: “Go home, all is forgiven”/I brush away the years/To that summer of living Goodnight/Sweet prince on the run/Sleep tight/I love you my wandering son Wherever you are/Goodnight, sleep tight I could’ve ruled the world/I could’ve made you stay But what to say/What to say/What could I say? If face to face when I see you there/That fantasy fairground makes me stop and stare I’ll say: “I’m back, maybe forgiven”/You wipe away my tears/I see my reason for living Goodnight/‘Til dreams come to end/Sleep tight/I love you my long lost friend Wherever you are/Goodnight, sleep tight

27. I’M LOST WITHOUT YOU Words and music by Keith Potger
I’m lost without you/Never once imagined it could end this way What can I say, now your laughter has gone/I see what I have done I’m lost without you/You were all I had when friends had let me down Now it’s easy to see how much you meant to me For the love that we had then/Won’t ever come again I’m lost without you/Lost without you I’ll never understand/Just somehow try to do the best I can In time I might forget/The way we loved, and yet I’m like a song, when the music has gone/The words remain unsung I’m lost without you/And a part of what I lived for died today How could anyone be so important to me It was the strongest love I’ve known/Oh why am I alone? I’m lost without you Lost without you
