Saltwater sunrise, paints the lonely shore Empty coffee cup, another night I can't ignore The miles that stretch between us, an aching, empty space This distance, a cruel mistress, leaving a bitter taste Your voice on the phone, a whisper in the wind Can't hold you close, can't mend what's worn thin I know we have a plan, a future hand in hand But waiting feels like drowning, sinking in the sand 'Cause the distance makes me sick, dear (Sick, sick of love) This yearning in my chest, a love I can't defer (Sick, sick of love) I know patience is a virtue, a test we have to face But this longing, oh this longing, leaving an empty space (Sick, sick of love) Memories like ghosts, dancing in the halls Empty picture frames, echoing silent calls Everywhere I look, a reminder of your touch The ache of missing you, oh darling, it's too much They say time heals all wounds, but right now it feels like pain Counting down the days, until we meet again The thought of your embrace, keeps me holding on But the distance keeps on whispering: Baby, you're all alone 'Cause the distance makes me sick, dear (Sick, sick of love) This yearning in my chest, a love I can't defer (Sick, sick of love) I know patience is a virtue, a test we have to face But this longing, oh this longing, leaving an empty space (Sick, sick of love) But even in this sickness, a flicker of hope remains The knowledge of your love, soothes the burning pains We'll bridge this lonely distance, with every passing day And when we're finally together, my love will forever stay 'Cause the distance makes me sick, dear (Sick, sick of love) This yearning in my chest, a love I can't defer (Sick, sick of love) I know patience is a virtue, a test we have to face But this longing, oh this longing, leaving an empty space (Sick, sick of love) (But even when I'm sick of love, my love for you won't fade) (Through the miles and lonely nights, my love for you will stay)
