What It Is Songtext

von Jeffrey Gaines

Sometimes I stare out into nowhere
But I still can see your face
The more time that I stare right into you
It leaves a bitter taste

I remember how I took you in and kept you warm
Gave you shelter from the storm
And as soon as the clouds would break
And the sun appeared, you'd be off an running

What it is that keeps me loving you?
Both day and night can't seem to get you off my mind
And what it is that keeps me wondering if you're alright
Through my empty days and never ending nights

The first time ever that I saw
Your lovely eyes so new
The more times I demand love from them
I see the less of you

Now you've got me climbing up and down
These lonely stairs looking for you everywhere
And as soon as the day would break
And you'd appear, I'd be off and running

What it is that keeps me loving you?
Both day and night can't seem to get you off my mind
And what it is that keeps me wondering if you're alright
Through my empty days and never ending nights
