Whenever You’re Away from Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Gene Kelly & Olivia Newton-John]
No other face could take you off my mind
You're so refined
You're much too kind
I have to warn you I'm never gonna set you free
'Cause I was born to
Love you for eternity


[Chorus: Both]
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes, dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
'Cause I'll never be far away

[Verse 2: Gene Kelly, Olivia Newton-John, & Both]
On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame
I feel the same
I'd fall apart, dear, if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart, dear, nobody else could mend


[Chorus: Both]
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes, dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
'Cause I'll never be far away
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Both]
Whenever you're away from me
Wherever you go
You're never far away from me
I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes, dear
And suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray
'Cause I'll never be far away

[Outro: Olivia Newton-John]
You better never stray 'cause I'll never be far away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
