When She's Near

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

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
See those nights are the days when my love is away

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

I'm waiting for the day
When I am on her mind
('Cause 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
(When she's near)
When she's near
(When she's near)
When she's near

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 she's near me all the world is new
When she's near me all the world is new
