Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Laying here in your arms and you hold me tight, tight
Trying not to watch the clock tick-ticking as the time goes by
And I know that you best be on your way
But I'm wishing I could make you stay
Stay with me for a while
[Verse 2]
Though you're near
Still I wanna make it clear
Love, I will always be around
[Verse 3]
You're leaving, I'm waiting
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
I feel it already
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
[Verse 4]
Kind of hard for me to let you know
Seldom let my feelings show
How much I will miss in you
All the little things that make me weak
Your eyes and the way you speak
Without you, baby, I'm not me
[Verse 5]
Though you're near
Still I wanna make it clear
Love, I will always be around
[Verse 6]
You're leaving, I'm waiting
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
I feel it already
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
[Verse 7]
You're leaving, I'm waiting
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
I feel it already
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
[Verse 8]
You're leaving, I'm waiting
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
I feel it already
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
[Verse 9]
You're leaving, I'm waiting
Forgive me, I'm always missing you
Before the goodbye
