  • The minute you're gone I cry
    The minute you're gone I die
    Before you walk out of sight
    I'm like a child all alone at night

    I stare into emptiness
    I'm filled with such loneliness
    The world goes from right to wrong
    The minute you're gone

    The minute you're gone I see
    How lonely a man I'll be
    My life would be oh so blue
    If I couldn't be with you

    The minute you're gone I pray
    The minute you're gone I say
    Please don't stay away too long
    The minute you're gone
    The minute you're gone Writer/s: JIMMIE GATELY

  • Mark from Dublin, IrelandThere must be something bout working in Nashville that brings out something great in cliff,anytime he has recorded there he has bein sucessful,the minute your gone got to number one in 1965 when the beatles and the stones were pretty much all over the charts,another great track from those nashville sessions was "wind me up" which reached number 2 in the uk charts but actually sold more records than "the minute your gone" and another great recording "angel" which was a cover of an elvis movie song,in 2002 cliff returned to nashville and recorded what some people reckon as his best album to date "somethings goin on",every track on this album could of being a classic but unfortately it did not get the backing it deserved and "only went gold"....For any cliff fans or music lovers i strongly recommend you take a listen to "somethings goin on" and you will see why cliff is still a big star today...
