WHEN I'M GONE
(Albert Hammond / Harold Payne)

The Fortunes - 1980

When I'm Gone
Will you take good care of everything
Will you keep wearing your wedding ring
When I'm gone

When I'm gone
Will you take out all the photographs
Maybe spend a moment in the past
When I'm gone

Will you miss me in the night
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
And keep me in your dreams
In your heart, in your life

And sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do when love is new
Just for a moment be close to you
Pretending I'm still holding you

Even when I'm far away
The dreams we'll stay, and someday
After we've both chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me

(Instrumental Break)

When i'm gone
I'll be thinking 'bout you constantly
'Cause you're locked inside my memory
From now on

And I know
That we said we needed time apart
But your love keeps pulling at my heart
Oh, it's strong

Will you miss me in the night
Will your arms reach out to hold me tight
And keep me in your dreams
In your heart, in your life

Sometimes I wanna run to you
Like lovers do when love is new
Just for a moment be close to you
Pretending I'm still holding you

And even when I'm far away
The dreams we'll stay, and someday
After we've both chased our fantasies
Love will bring you back to me

Sometimes I wanna run to you, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And sometimes I wanna run to you
Just like lovers do
And sometimes I wanna run to you, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Like lovers do........FADE
