Key: C

-3 3   -4 -3*  -3
In my lone-li-ness, 
-2*    3     -3  -3  -3  -3  -3 -3  -3
When you're gone and I'm all by my-self, 
3  -4  -3   -3  -4  -3
And I need your ca-ress
-2 2     3  -2* -2
I just think of you, 
1   -1     2    2   2    2  -1* 2   -2
And the thought of you hold-ing me near, 
2     -2   3  3   3    3   -2* 3  -3   
Makes my lone-li-ness soon dis-a-pear

-3       3    -4 -3* -3
Though you're far a-way, 
-2* 3  -3 -3 -3   -3  -3  -3
I have on-ly to close my eyes, 
3   -3   3   -3  -4  -3
And you are back to stay
-2  2    3  -2*  -2
I just close my eyes, 
1   -1   2    2    2    2  -1*  2   -2
And the sad-ness that miss-ing you brings
2    -2   3   3   3     3  -2*  3    -3
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
4  -4  -5   4*  4
Yes I love you so, 
-4   -5   4* 4  -4 -5  4*  4  -4  -3
And that for me is all I need to know
-3 3    -4  -3* -3
I will wait for you, 
-2*   3  -3   -3    -3  -3  -3 -3  -3
‘Til the sun falls from out of the sky, 
3    -4     3  -3 -4 -3
For what  else can I do
-2 2    3   -2* -3   1 -1  2  2
I will wait for you med-i-ta-ting, 
2    -2    -2   -2  -1
How sweet life will be, 
-1   -1    2   2   2  1
When you come back to me
