When You Come Back To Me

Jason Donovan · The Very Best Of [2002]

So many people smile on their faces

Armful of presents going to places

There's a chill in the air

As I walk through the night

How I wish I could walk through the windows of time

Would I see happiness there

See your face everywhere

But the lights all go down over London-town

There is a glow in my heart

Even though we're apart

'Cause I know, yes I know

It's just a matter of time



I'm missing your love

Until you come back to me

I'm counting the hours

Until you return

There's a flame in my heart

And when you come back to me

Oh, how the fire will burn



I sit by the fire and try to remember

It won't be long till where back together

But we're oceans apart

And nothing that I can do

Will speed the passing of time and bring me closer to you

And I keep thinking of you

And it keeps pulling me through

Like the songs that you sing when you're lonely

But there's a glow in my heart

Even though we're apart

'Cause I know, yes I know

It's just a matter of time



I'm missing your love

Until you come back to me

I'm counting the hours

Until you return

There's a flame in my heart

And when you come back to me

Oh, how the fire will burn



Na, na, na....



There's a flame in my heart

And when you come back to me

Oh, how the fire will burn



And I keep thinking of you

And it keeps pulling me through

Like the songs that you sing when you're lonely

But there's a glow in my heart

Even though we're apart

'Cause I know, yes I know

It's just a matter of time



I'm missing your love

Until you come back to me

I'm counting the hours

Until you return

There's a flame in my heart

And when you come back to me

Oh, how the fire will burn



I'm missing your love

Until you come back to me

I'm counting the hours

Until you return

There's a flame in my heart

And when you come back to me

Oh, how the fire will burn
