VERSE   It's another lonely night in December   I've packed away the clothes that I will wear   But I left behind the pictures   And the painting that you made me   On the night, when you said goodbye   Then I left the door wide open for a reason   But I kept the only key that I had made   And as I pulled my car away   I just let the memories fade   Into the night, when you said goodbye      CHORUS   Oh how long have you been gone,   You left me on my own, you left me all alone   And when will you be coming back to me,   I just cannot wait I just can't believe   That you are gone"      VERSE   Well it's another quiet drive here to Denver   But driving all alone can heal the pain   I have left with my mistakes   And the one's that I will make here   When I'm gone, it's been way to long   I have thrown away the letters that you sent me   But I kept with me the dreams that I had made   I have taken my belief that   Someone will care for me here   When you're gone, it's been way to long      CHORUS      BRIDGE   Well I've been blinded by the light   Now it's only you and I   Fuel the fire that burns inside   Light the flame that made her die   And I don't know if I'll return   Just give it one more year to burn   Give me one more chance to make things alright      CHORUS (2x)
