I haven't been around for a while
And sometimes you forget to smile
Your face carries a frown
It shows your really feeling down
Sometimes you even forget to cry
As the days fly on by

[Chorus:] You know that I'm not here
But hold back your tears
Cause I'll see you in a thousand years
Now your all alone
Sitting by yourself at home
But no tears, cause I'll see you in a thousand years

I had to take a vacation
Just to save my situation
I decided not to tell
But my life isn't going well
I'll be with you in a thousand years time
Don't forget you'll always be mine

[Chorus:] You know that I'm not here
But hold back your tears
Cause I'll see you in a thousand years
Now your all alone
Sitting by yourself at home
But no tears, cause I'll see you in a thousand years

I know it's a long time to wait
But I'll never be too late
I'll always be your friend
And you will see me again
I'm not ready to say
And I wont be today
But maybe in a thousand years

[Chorus:] You know that I'm not here
But hold back your tears
Cause I'll see you in a thousand years
Now your all alone
Sitting by yourself at home
But no tears, cause I'll see you in a thousand years
