Swing Out Sister - Now You're Not Here Lyrics






Love was young
We saw beyond a sky that had no limits
Much higher than the highest star
Beyond the furthest planet
We thought that we could change the world
And everything in it
But time ran out of endless hours
Gave into doubt, were we just playing an endless game
That no one ever wins

If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

Love and hate
Left up to fate
A life we took for granted
We couldn't stop our running from the things we always wanted
No long goodbyes
No tears to cry
And nothing to believe in
But now you're gone
We'll never know a love that's grown
Time took away
All that it gave to the two of us

If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

When our hearts were young and nights were long
We'd let the morning sun kiss our eyes open
Precious dreams that we had now they are dead and gone
The promises we made have all been broken

If I could run away
Hide away
Forget the way I feel
But your memory keeps haunting me
Convincing me it's real
Now you're not here
Now you're not here

In my arms
In my life
Lovin' you, is just a memory
Now you're not here
Now you're not here
With me now, in my arms, in my mind, in my life

    They never get old.

  2. �.... ....

    TBSテレビのドラマ「真昼の月」が懐かしいですね。

  3. L.... P....

    映像は真夏なのですが、どうしても空気の澄んだ寒い冬の感覚になります。(そういう世界観の歌詞なのかな??)中学の時に初めて聴いて、衝撃を受けました。ずいぶん大人になったけれど、今でも新鮮に胸がキューンとします。

  4. M.... O....

    Parabéns, amigão! ADOOORO O SWING OUT SISTER! BRAZILIANS FANS

  5. E.... P....

    Love the 70s vibes on this video.

  6. J.... ....

    I love all of Swing Out Sister's music, and this song is my favorite of their songs.

  7. J.... D....

    Such a beautiful song makes me cry 😥 everytime I hear it. Where did this kind of music 🎶 go ?

  8. T.... D....

    One of a kind girl

  9. L.... A....

    Lindas lembranças, que tocam no coração pra sempre!

  10. K.... J....

    Such a beautiful and underrated song. What do you call this version? It's different from the album version.

  11. s.... m....

    Very nice song!

  12. k.... h....

    この歌聴くとなんか切なくなる。でも好き

  22. V.... A....

    GENIAL. SUPER

  23. S.... S....

    Reminds me a lot of Liz Damon's 1900 Yesterday. If you love this song, you gotta get "The Big Elsewhere", released only in Japan. Variations on a theme. They could have done this with dozens of their songs.

  24. a.... ....

    .      🏖️ Swing Out Sister make me glad it's *summer!*

    Thanks for posting!  😎

  25. P.... L....

    This whole album rivals the best that SOS has put out before or after, and this haunting song is one of the major reasons that makes it such a stand-out. I will never tire of hearing this song, just like I won't tire of hearing "Break Out" (heck - even more so!) My only "complaint" is that the video has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with this melancholic song of love lost - you could argue it's the OPPOSITE of what the song says, right? The same could be said about Somewhere In The World, although I don't think that one is quite as egregious in its incongruity. Still it's lovely to see them having such a good time on the shoot. Also lovely to see all the Japanese love in the comments!

  26. j.... a....

    man, I had some crazy dreams with this lady back in the day, like walking hand in hand through Paris is a summer afternoon, it was so vivid, I almost swore it happened. Now nostalgia has crushed me

  27. K.... T....

    Makes me remember my beloved dad. Dad, I miss you so much!!!

  28. F.... F....

    Can't can't can't stop playing this track why oh why?

  29. C.... M....

    90年代の東京都会

  30. M.... K....

    My one and only beauty song.

  31. M.... M....

    Like Steely Dan but with a soulful melody and vocals.

  32. �.... ....

    こんないい曲よく作れるなーー。

  33. S.... S....

    SOSの曲でいちばんの曲だと思う
    当時この曲は日本でしか手に入らなかったのかな?
    日本人好みのメロディだと思うが英国の人にはどうだったんでしょう?

  34. C.... K....

    Hard to find more nostalgic , sincere ang soft in the same time , love legacy...

  35. �.... ....

    本当に時代変わっても名曲は変わらない🎵切なさと何とも言えない感覚になるね。

  36. j.... i....

    Thank you, S.O.S. 💗

  37. m.... ....

    子供みたいな音楽ばかり、街中で流れ、電波に乗るので…
    またいつか、こんな音楽が溢れる世の中になって欲しいですね。

    m.... ....

    本当!!おっしゃる通りですね!!

    m.... ....

    90年代雰囲気に戻る

    Estoy muy de acuerdo con Masakin !!!

  38. N.... H....

    真昼の月!

  44. p.... ....

    Each song is a masterpiece, like this one. They didn't have the success they deserved.

  45. J.... A....

    Fantastic music. I have followed SOS since their first chart topping hit "Breakout" back in the 80s. The music just gets better and better with age. Sad that this generation of "music" listeners don't hear this kind of music. As for Corinne and Andy, they are timeless, they don't age at all. She is as beautiful now as she was when "Breakout" was filmed. While they don't get the airplay they deserve, their CD's live on and so does SOS for this long time fan. My dream is for Corinne and Andy to find their way to Cincinnati Ohio USA and preform in concert. I know that this video is older, but in a YT video from a year or two ago, they literally have not aged. Their music, like them are timeless.

  46. S.... G....

    Heard this song on J Wave 81.3 FM Tokyo in 1997 for the first time, went immediately to Tower Records Shibuya, purchased both the single and album CD "Shapes And Patterns".. Miss Japan so much..

    S.... G....

    Sheldon George What an amazing country Japan is

  47. �.... ....

    This is one of the most elegantly beautiful "sinewy-uptempo" semi-ballads I've heard in my entire life.

    this song lyrics struck me hard, 2008 was a bittersweet year. That was when i first discovered this song and video, i also met a good guy but my straying heart and eyes ruined my relationship with him.

    Now You're Not Here
    Love was young
    We saw beyond a sky that had no limits
