The Minute You're Gone Poem by Phil Soar

The minute you're gone, we cry
The minute you're gone we sigh
And now you are out of sight
We're like a child all alone at night

We stare into emptiness
All filled with such loneliness
The world's gone from right to wrong
The minute you're gone

The minute you're gone, we see
How lonely our lives will be
And everything seems so blue
Knowing that we are not with you

The minute you're gone we pray
The minute you're gone we say
You've been in our hearts so long
We're sad you are gone

The minute you're gone, we know
That you were a ‘so and so'
But life was a treat so long
We're sad that you're gone
