The first day wasn't hard to take
I figured I could cope without you
The first week brought a kind of ache
But it was mixed with hope about you
Then suddenly a month without you

I began to see a chase of your face in every shadow on the wall
I began to hear the sound of your voice in every echo in the hall
And I'd reach out in the night when you weren't there at all
I heard your name, I heard your name
It came tumbling from my lips but you didn't hear me call

Come on back to me, come on back to me, I love you, I love you
Come on back to me, come on back to me, tonight I celebrate
The first year and it's so hard to take
I can't really cope without you
The first day, there was my mistake
I never should have let you go
How could I ever let you go?

Must I always see a chase of your face in every shadow on the wall?
Must I always hear the sound of your voice in every echo in the hall?
Must I reach out in the night when you aren't there at all?
I hear your name, I hear your your name
Always tumbling from my lips but you never hear me call

Must I reach out in the night when you aren't there at all?
I hear your name, I hear your name
Always tumbling from my lips but you never hear me call

Come on back to me, come on back to me, I love, I love you
Come on back to me, come on back to me
Come on back to me, come on back to me
Come on back to me, come on back to me
Come on back to me, come on back to me
Come on back to me, come on back to me
Come on back to me, come on [fade out]
