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 night turns to days
When my love is away

When she's near
The new years here
And there is not a resolution that I can't do
I see things cleary when she's near me
When she's near me all the world is new

When life has me vexed
I stop thinking cleary
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 years here
And there is not a resolution that I can't do
I see things cleary 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 (she's all mine)
I'm waiting for the day
When loves 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)

When she's near
The new years here
And there is not a resolution that I can't do
I see things cleary 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
