|
I'll wake each morning and I'll promise to laugh
|
I'll say "Good morning" to your old photograph
|
And I'll speak to you, dear
|
(Just as though you were here)
|
|
When purple shadows start to welcome the dark
|
I'll take the same old stroll we took through the park
|
And I'll cling to you, dear
|
(Just as though you were here)
|
|
(Oh, don't be afraid that distance and time)
|
Will finally tear us apart
|
(The farther you go, the longer you stay)
|
(The deeper you grow in my heart)
|
|
Each night before I wander off into sleep
|
I'll bring to light the tears I've buried so deep
|
Then I'll kiss you, my dear
|
(Just as though you were here)
|
|
Each night before I wander off into sleep
|
I'll bring to light the tears I've buried so deep
|
Then I'll kiss you, my dear
|
And though you're gone, my love for you goes on, darling
|
(Just as though you were here)
