There were times that I just wanna cry with all the strain   There were moments of uncertainty and pain   But when you are there to help and care, I smile again   But here am I so alone away from you      [Chorus:]   Everyday I can only pray for your warm, lovin' arms   To take me away from all the emptiness, despair   Why do I have to be away from you      I have searched throughout the world a lot of things I've seen   I have pondered many possibilities   Then you come along, you make me strong so stay with me   Why am I on my own without you      [Chorus:]   On my own so far away I long from your warm lovin' arms   Into the cold, dark emptiness of hurt, despair   I don't wanna be away from you      [Chorus:]   Everyday I can only pray for your warm, lovin' arms   To take me away from all the emptiness, despair   Why do I have to be away from you      Please don't let me be      [Chorus:]   On my own so far away I long from your warm lovin' arms   Into the cold, dark emptiness of hurt, despair   I don't wanna be away from you
