About the Song
Despite that they are apart, the two people in the song are still strongly in love. They realized that not having each other makes a whole lot of difference in their lives.
All these moments alone
Make me realize
Just how empty this old world is
Without you in my life
Therefore, they send messages to each other to feel that they are still together.
Let me hear your sweet voice sayin’
You love me again
Even though we’re apart
I hold to your memory
Send a message to my heart
To keep you here with me
