Very fitting for my relationship with my Valentine. I spend far too many nights on a train or in a hotel while she is at home alone in our bed. That absence makes the heart grow fonder thing is true, but it isn't always easy to deal with.
You can ignore the video, or at least keep in mind that it was made in 1983? when music videos and MTV were still new.
"When I'm Away from You"
When I'm away from you,
I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move
From the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends.
When I'm away from you
Well, it hurts to say
My sense has gone
So far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right.
When I'm away from you
I see great big clouds
In the fog and rain
All the lonely crowds
They seem to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you.
When I'm away from you
Well, the sun don't shine
The moon don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh you know.
It's all the things you do
That make life worthwhile
Like the way you talk
And the way you smile
It's all the things you do
Keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know?
I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move
From the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends.
When I'm away from you
Well, it hurts to say
My sense has gone
So far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right.
When I'm away from you
I see great big clouds
In the fog and rain
All the lonely crowds
They seem to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you.
When I'm away from you
Well, the sun don't shine
The moon don't come
The words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know, oh you know.
It's all the things you do
That make life worthwhile
Like the way you talk
And the way you smile
It's all the things you do
Keep me hanging on
And you know, don't you know?
