While You Are Gone
Love's Silence: Navigating Heartbreak in Sarah Vaughan's Melody
Lyrics
The clock stopped running, darling
The passage of time feels halted or meaningless, dear.
When you went away
Time seemed to lose its significance when you departed.
The sun stops shining
The brightness of life dims in your absence.
And the clouds turn to gray
The atmosphere turns somber and gloomy without you.
To me I can't see nothing in the daze
I feel disoriented and unable to perceive clearly.
While your are gone
Experiencing a sense of emptiness while you are away.
The birds did bow their heads
Birds, symbolizing nature, show a solemn acknowledgment.
'Cause they all seem to know
They understand the depth of my love for you, dear.
How much I love you, dear
Expressing the intensity of love and desire for you.
And wanted you so
Longing for your presence and affection.
No, there isn't no place I'd want to go
Nowhere else holds appeal in your absence.
While you are gone, gone
Feeling incomplete and yearning for you being gone.
I didn't realize how precious love could be
Realizing the profound value of love.
Now it is plain enough to see
Understanding the importance of love clearly now.
To think that I could live
Contemplating the challenge of surviving alone.
In this big cruel world by myself
The world feels harsh and unkind without you.
Loving you so much, longing for your touch
Loving you intensely and yearning for your touch.
I know I'm just a fool who didn't play her part
Acknowledging a mistake in not playing a proper role.
To cause us, darling, to be so far apart
Recognizing that our actions led to physical distance.
So how can I repair these broken hearts
Seeking a way to mend the emotional wounds.
While you are gone
Expressing the difficulty of coping while you're away.
How can I repair these broken hearts
Reiterating the challenge of healing without you present.
While you are gone
The ongoing struggle to mend hearts in your absence.
