Anyone who has to work away from home I am sure will get this song. Life today makes us part time husbands and wives, as work gets scarce we end up travelling further afield to find work. The only way I see my wife during the week is either using Skype or FaceTime, but we both have work & family commitments so what can you do?

Friday is generally everybody’s favourite day of the week but it has more importance when you have to live away, this song captures my feelings and hopefully goes some way to let her know how much I miss her.

Verse 1
I hate to see you cry, I hate to have to leave you
I hate the lonely nights oh how I long to hold you
My days they have no light, just work and days that pass me
My only ray of light, is I’ll soon be coming home

Chorus
I am lost without you, I am just a shell without you,
I have no life without you cause everythings for you
I am lost without you, What would I do without you,
yes I am lost without you, what more can this man say

Verse 2
The hours ticking by, too slowley they won’t hurry
I feel so very tired. but my nights are full of worry
I see you via skype, and you look oh so lonely
but baby don’t you cry cause soon I’m coming home.

Chorus
I am lost without you, I am just a shell without you,
I have no life without you cause everythings for you
I am lost without you, What would I do without you,
yes I am lost without you, what more can this man say

Verse 3
I hate to work away, we both make sacrifices
cause we got bills we must pay, oh I wish I was at home
I wish I was with you, oh how I long to hold you
The week is almost through and I’ll be on my way.

Chorus
I am lost without you, I am just a shell without you,
I have no life without you cause everythings for you
I am lost without you, What would I do without you,
yes I am lost without you, what more can this man say
