you will only realize what you have when it's gone

when you lose the only thing you depended upon

well i try so much till it's hard to go on

how could i take it all for granted

how could i be so wrong

i appreciate now just what you meant to me

and i wish i had shown you the things i could be

sometimes it's so very hard to express

but i thank you for all the things i possess

when you left without warning

how was i to know

that it would be the last i would see you no more

oh

you're so far away

though you shine like a star

shine like a star

you're the light in the dark

light in the dark

you let me see

the shadow of me

the shadow of me

i would give up forever to see you once more

to relieve precious moments that we had before

we don't talk because our understanding is strong

we don't need any words so i'll play you this song

this is good for day

when you left without warning

how was i to know

that it would be the last i would see you no more

oh

you're so far away

far away though you shine like a star

shine like a star

you're the light in the dark

light in the dark

you let me see

you're so far away

far away though you shine like a star

shine like a star

you're the light in the dark

light in the dark

you let me see the shadow of me

the shadow of me
