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 nights are the days when my love is away - Chorus - When she's near the new year's here And there is not a resolution that I can't do I see things clearly when she's near me When she's near me all the world is new When life has me vexed I stop thinking clearly I can get so afraid that I push her away Repentance is next I miss her so dearly Those nights are the days When my love is away I'm waiting for the day when I am on her mind (She's on mine) I'm waiting for the day when love's no longer blind, blind When she's near, when she's near... When she's near me all the world is new
