IF YOU'RE NOT THERE
Rain or shine, cloudy or fine
Never really mattered much to me
It’s not like we can change the weather
It’s more about where you are
Currently it’s much too far away
And how I wish I could be with you

Well, you left the sun, oh, but it’s no fun
Without you underneath it could thunder for a week for all I care
If you’re not there

France or Spain, or Bahrain
You could be on the moon for all it’s worth
If I can’t get there what’s the difference?
Day or night, nothing’s right
How can I find solace when I’m lost?
My greatest enemy is distance

Well, you left the sun, oh, but it’s no fun
Without you underneath it could thunder for a week for all I care
If you’re not there

And now I’m missing you so I’ll picture you
And I’m kissing you, and I’ll stick to you
Like the finest ink on a delicate print
Of the world’s most beautiful girl

Right or wrong it’s been too long
Doesn’t matter how you dress it up
I can’t survive with just a photo
Cold or hot, it matters not
The sun is only shining where you are
That’s how I know where to go to

Well, you left the sun, oh, but it’s no fun
Without you underneath it could thunder for a week for all I care
If you’re not there
