Away From You 
Composer(s): Sheldon Harnick - Richard Rodgers - Steve Walsh
Performer(s): Sarah Brightman



Away from you
There is no music
There is no sunlight
The world is gray
Away from you
The clocks are frozen
And time's a traveller
Who's lost his way

The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak

I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through
Now my world starts to glow
Like a stained-glass window
And what was old and cold
Is warm and new
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you

Away from you
The world is lifeless
As though creation
Has gone awry
The trees are bare
There are no flowers
The fields are thirsty
The streams are dry

We live, you and I
For a breath of sunlight
So brief an escape
From a world of gray
Our moments of warmth
Have been touch and go, love
But tonight, we'll touch
And stay

The people I meet
Might as well be statues
The words we exchange
Might as well be Greek
The room that I'm in
May be bright and cheerful
But to me
It's dim and bleak

I'm half alive
Until the moment
The door swings open
And you walk through
Now my soul is afloat
On a wave of music
That I could feel such joy
I never knew
And so you see
Why I can never be
Away from you
