Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945 in Los Angeles, California) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her distinctive, raspy voice which she attributes to many hours spent singing in smoky bars and clubs. Carnes was a member of New Christy Minstrels from 1966 until 1970. Kenny Rogers was also a member, and during this time Carnes met and married Dave Ellingson, with whom she would write most of her songs. For a short while in the early 1970s, she and Ellingson formed the folk duo Kim and Dave, which was not successful.

When I'm Away From You Lyrics
Kim Carnes
Frankie Miller)
When I'm away from you I can't stay still
My thoughts won't move from the way I feel
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you I see grey big clouds
In the fog and rain all the lonely crowds
It seems to be so blue
Every night I'm missing you
When I'm away from you the sun don't shine
The moon don't come the words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know oh you know
It's all the things you do that make life worth while
Like the way you talk and the way you smile
It's all the things you do that keep me hangin' on
And you know oh you know
When I'm away from the wime won't flow
The tides don't turn and the wind don't blow
I'm up all through the night
And I can't tell wrong from right
When I'm away from you the sun don't shine
The moon don't come the words don't rhyme
When I'm away from you I can't let go
And you know oh you know
When I'm away from you it hurts to say
My sense is gone so far away
It happens time and time again
And the circle never ends
When I'm away from you my boy
When I'm away from you my little boy
