[Verse 1: Samantha Sang] It's over and done But the heartache lives on inside And who's the one you're clinging to Instead of me tonight [Pre-Chorus: Samantha Sang] And where are you now Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go I'll cry me a river That leads to your ocean You never see me fall apart [Chorus: Barry Gibb] In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul But if you don't come back Come home to me, darling [Bridge: Barry Gibb and Samantha Sang] You know that There'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight Goodnight, goodnight [Verse 2: Samantha Sang] I'm there at your side I'm part of all the things you are But you've got a part of someone else You go to find your shining star [Pre-Chorus: Samantha Sang] And where are you now Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go I'll cry me a river That leads to your ocean You never see me fall apart [Chorus: Barry Gibb] In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul But if you don't come back Come home to me, darling [Bridge: Barry Gibb and Samantha Sang] You know that There'll be nobody left in this world to hold me tight Nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight Goodnight, goodnight [Pre-Chorus: Samantha Sang] And where are you now Now that I need you Tears on my pillow Wherever you go I'll cry me a river That leads to your ocean You never see me fall apart [Chorus: Barry Gibb] In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul But if you don't come back Come home to me, darling
