ABSENCE (MAKES THE HEART GROW (FONDER/COLDER))
Dec. 18/85 Karl Rigelhof & Dave Beno

You don't love me anymore
Things are not the same (way)
(As) they were before

I don't feel it anymore
Except for the pain
Burning to the core

I've had it up to here
You've taken it/me too far
This time (we/I/know) it's/we're through
I'm walking out the door

CHORUS:
Absence makes the heart grow colder
(Until) the fire (of our love)/(in our hearts) (begins to) smolder(s)
Things turned out exactly as/like I told her
Love (is not a thing that)(/)can(not) be bought or sold girl

I don't need you anymore
I've got to find(/)
What (is it)/(it is)
(What/that) I'm searching/looking for

I can't take it anymore
I have/'ve got to know
What the future has in store

I want you back again
Forever by my side
We'll be together (un)til(l)/in the end
(Because) it was meant to be

CHORUS:
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
We need (the/some) time to realize
Where it is that we('ve gone)/went wrong girl
What was the truth and what was/were (a) lie(s)

Absence makes the heart grow bolder
We seem to forget as we get/grow older
(That) beauty is (not) in the eye of the (be)holder
It belongs in the hands of the/its molder
(So keep your head between your shoulders)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Now we realize
There was nothing wrong girl
Now (that) we've opened up our eyes
