[Verse 1]
Another day, another place
Another night, and you're not here
Once again far from home
All alone to play my song
I know in just a little while
I'll be right there to see your face
But until I can

[Chorus]
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side

[Verse 2]
In a special way I need your touch
To feel the warmth that comforts me
And you know it's true
All in all I'd rather spend this time with you
But until I can

[Chorus]
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side, baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
I stay awake and I want you by my side

[Outro]
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
And I want ya and I need you baby
(I stay awake and I want you, baby)
