my cover is blown   i'm faded and dreary   when my love is away   my cover is blown   when she leaves me alone   i'm weathered and weary   the night turns to days   when my love is away      when she's near   the new years here   and there is not a resolution that i can't do   i see things cleary when she's near me   when she's near me all the world is new      when life has me vexed    i stop thinking cleary   i can get so afraid   that i push her away   repentance is next   i miss her so dearly   see those nights are the days   when my love is away      when she's near   the new years here   and there is not a resolution that i can't do    i see things cleary when she's near me   when she's near me all the world is new      i'm waiting for the day   when i am on her mind (she's all mine)   i'm waiting for the day   when loves no longer blind, blind      when she's near (when she's near)   when she's near (when she's near)   when she's near (when she's near)   when she's near (when she's near)      when she's near    the new years here   and there is not a resolution that i can't do   i see things cleary when she's near me   when she's near me all the world is new   when she's near me all the world is new   when she's near me all the world is new
