Only 'cause I Don't Have You Lyrics

by Ramsey McLean

Turn off the music

Take down the signs

Pack up the boxes

Put away the wine

No toast for the future

No reward for the find

If looks could kill

this mirror would do

Only 'cause I don't have you

Don't bother with ovations

Leave off the fanfare

Let the candles melt down

Till the smoke's all that's there

Leave the veil in place

A tear, la mer

I could say it was nothing Connick Harry Jr - Only 'cause I Don't Have You - http://motolyrics.com/connick-harry-jr/only-cause-i-dont-have-you-lyrics.html

Now that there's nothing new

Only 'cause I don't have you

Not built on a wisp or whim

Twist an arm, break a leg

Tear me limb from limb

If there's a point you've made it

If there's a fare I've paid it

Later on good wishes

Later on good try

I'm afraid won't do

It's not justified

You go from the privy

And you end up deprived

On top of the world

But still there's no view

Only 'cause I don't have you
