It's cold again
I do not know what to do
I need a friend
But all I really want is you
Where have you been
I haven't seen you for so long
I guess you're gone
You're really gone

So long ago
You told me you'd never leave
But do you know
Things have changed so suddenly
And here I am
I am moving on without you
Without you

And now the years have passed us by
And I do not know why
Before you tried
You chose to quit
So where are you tonight
You could make everything right
But instead
You're missing it
You're missing it

This is it
All the things that I have done
This is it
Everything I have become
So wave goodbye
Cause you can never give it back
No you can't
You really can't

Cause now the years have passed us by
And I still do not know why
Before you tried
You chose to quit
So where are you tonight
You could make everything right
But instead
You're missing it
You're missing it

They're will be a day
Where you wish you could go back
Your mistakes
Will catch up with where you're at
Before you know
All your chances will be gone
They will be gone

Cause now the years have passed us by
And I still do not know why
Before you tried
You chose to quit
So where are you tonight
You could make everything right
But instead
You're missing it

And now the years have passed us by
And I still do not know why
Before you tried
You chose to quit
So where are you tonight
You could make it all all right
But instead
You're missing it
You're missing it

    He is moving on with his life, growing up, achieving things out of life and he wishes she could be there to watch, expieriance it all with him. But she isn't. Everything would be okay if she was there, if she came into his life again, but she isnt. Eventually she will realise her mistakes, but he is already gone. Even if they are not together, he misses her but she is missing everything in his life.Really think this song speaks for itself, such a true song </3 beautiful

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
