Not too long ago when she was mine
I thought we would be together 'til the end of time
That's the way it goes when you're in love
Since she's gone there's nothing else I'm thinking of

I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man

There will never be anyone else
Never be another one to take her place
Might as well give up, I can't go on
Never find another one to fill this empty space

I need her to stay with me
Lay me down and pray for me
Now I know just where I stand
Heaven help this lonely man

When she came to me and opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me, I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone, I can't go on

When she came to me and opened my eyes
Suddenly life was worth living
Now it's over for me, I realize
Nothing's the same since she's gone and I can't go on
Just can't go on
