when im with you my heart begins to grow
and when im not the growing begins to slow
when im with you nothing can make me cry
adn when im not i feel like im going to die
when im with you i am always glad
and when im not i become very sad
when im with you i am kind
and when im not my heart is hard to find
when im with you my heart begins to race
and when im not tears fall down my face
when im with you i fall even more in love with you
and when im not i try not to
when im with you i begin to smile
and when im not it goes away for awhile
when im with you i know my love is true
but im not with you and i try so hard not to show my love for you
