While you're away
with words and thoughts I play
but they do little to convey
how I long for you today
The words we exchanged
were so sweet
each day, a little more of you I meet
a picture a little more complete
That's a feeling
I feel underneath, so real
tells my heart you're the real deal
No more reason to conceal
The growing affection and tenderness
for you I truly do feel
and knowing of your sadness
my heart opens yet anohter seal
So today, I play
and don't take all seriously
I'm just a lump of clay
with a heart for you
While you're away
