For You (while you're gone)

If life's a treasure, then I don't want no treasure for me

My heart's been broken and I can't seem

To fight back these feelings of grief

'Cause you were what helped me to see the light among the strife

Yeah, you were what helped me to feel alright when I was not alright

So while you're gone, gone, gone

I hope I'll be strong

Since you're gone, gone, gone

Can you hear me say?

For you, I will stay

Though my heart is numb

For you, I will pray

Though the veil is partly hung

And this new life has begun

I'm here to stay

For you (Ooh, ooh)

For you (Ooh, ooh)

With the pains in the past, I look ahead

I see you a ways and I pick up the pace

I hear you calling my name and I know

It'll be some time, it'll take some time

But you'll be my everything, no matter what, no matter what

For you I'll do anything, no matter what, no matter what

So while you're gone, gone, gone

I hope I'll be strong

While you're gone, gone, gone

Please hear me say

For you, I will wait

Though my heart was done

For you, I will sing

'Til the harmony comes

And you sing the part unsung

I promise to wait

For you (Ooh, ooh)

For you (Ooh, ooh)

For you

For you

If life's a treasure, then I might wanna keep some for me

'Cause now I have something to hold onto for you

For you, I will stay

Though my heart is numb

For you, I will pray

Though the veil is partly hung

For you, I will wait

Though my heart was done

For you, I will sing

'Til the harmony comes

For you (Ooh, ooh)

For you (Ooh, ooh)

For you (Ooh, ooh)

For you (Ooh, ooh)

For you
