[English]

Oh-oh

Mmm

Well, I wonder, could it be

When I was dreaming 'bout you baby, you were dreaming of me

Call me crazy

Call me blind

To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time

Did I lose my love to someone better

And does she love you like I do, I do

You know I really, really do

Well, hey, so much I need to say

Been lonely since the day

The day you went away

So sad but true, for me there's only you

Been crying since the day

The day you went away

Oh-oh

Yeah

Oh-oh-oh

I remember date and time

September 22nd, Sunday, 25 after nine

In the doorway with your case

No longer shouting at each other, there were tears on our faces

And we were letting go of something special

Something we'll never have again

I know, I guess I really, really know

Well hey, so much I need to say

Been lonely since the day

The day you went away

So sad but true for me there's only you

Been crying since the day

The day you went away

The day you went away

The day you went away

Oh, no

Yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Did I lose my love to someone better

And does she love you like I do, I do

You know I really, really do

Well hey, so much I need to say

Been lonely since the day

The day you went away

So sad but true for me, there's only you

Been crying since the day

The day you went away

Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone?

How could I carry on?

The day you went away

'Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say

Been crying since the day

The day you went away

The day you went away

The day you went away

Oh-oh

Yeah

Oh-oh-oh
