Now That You’ve Gone
Words & Music by Roger G. Hunt (ASCAP)

Now that you’ve gone, I ask what will I do with myself now? Such an emptyness here.
I didn’t think I would miss you so much; I can see now:
It’s abundantly clear,
That I miss you, girl; you’ve become my world.
It slipped up on me without notice.
Since you left, I’ve got, such a lonely spot,
And it’s all I can do to stay focused.

You seem to have that magical thing I have sought I’ve been seeking, now for all of my life.
Yours is the gift of Heaven that can’t be bought.
Somehow it seems so right
That I should adore, kneel upon the floor,
And lay all my gifts down before you.
And I must confess, that today’s distress,
Is the hole in my heart gaping for you.

Bridge)
You’re far away, and through each day,
There’s a hole where your presence did thrill me.
So I’ll pray and hope,
And cry and cope,
Til the mercy of God comes to fill me...

I never aspired to be an astronaut as I do now:
Shoot me into the sky!
Up through the clouds and to learn how you move, you will show how,
And together we’ll fly.
But to you it seems, like a crazy dream;
That Luck should bring me once more so near you.
Then our eyes will meet, and you whisper, Sweet:
My earthbound ears like radar will hear you!
