When I'm Gone

When we first met it was like love at first sight
The one chance for me to make my life right
And a love like yours would surely win my heart
You brought out my soul and the music in me
You brought out the feelings locked inside of me
Life is worth living and you hold the key to my heart
I've got a certain passion for what I want to do
And as crazy as it seems it don't even compare to you
But they're two separate loves, I'll do the best I can

FIRST CHORUS:
And the music is my life
And the world is my song
And my song is my prayer
And my prayer is my word
And my word is my song
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone

Sometimes my harmony goes out of key
And sometimes my secrets are just too hard to keep
But that's my decision, I'll do it on my own
Sometimes the river of life gets too deep
And sometimes the road just gets a little steep
But all the destinations are worth the long journey
And when we make love it's like paradise in hand
Crossing the line into a forbidden land
Eating the apple of the place to hide

 SECOND CHORUS:
Through our lives, fire's burning
Keep the beat of our hearts
All the way from yesterday
Here we are still on our feet
You're my love, you're my song
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone

*SOLO*

(FIRST CHORUS)
I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone....etc
