When You'Re Gone 
Words And Music By: 
Cheryl Wheeler 


I read the paper turn on the news 
And wear the floors out wonderin' what to do - oh 
The sun is bright but it doesn't shine 
I try to fight it but it happens every time 

(Chorus) 
When you're gone day is night 
When you're gone it's an uphill fight 
When you're gone baby nothin' nothin's right 

I'm goin' crazy sinkin' like a stone 
My friends are calling sayin don't sit home alone but 
It's not the same with anybody else 
It won't be long 'till I'm talkin' to myself 

(Repeat Chorus) 

So I watch that clock on the wall not movin' at all 
Just frozen in time 
And I don't mind letting you know I'm ready to go 
Right out of my mind 

The morning after the night before 
It's hard to tell the difference anymore 
Instead of growing stronger I'm just getting weak 
Instead of killin' time I think it's killin' me 

(Repeat Chorus)
