Lyrics
Missing you the way I do
Might be a tragic story
If I didn’t know wherever I go
I’d see your face before me
Chorus
Tho’ we are oceans apart
You’re never out of my heart
I simply close my eyes
And there you are
There in the dawn’s early light
There in the still of the night
I look behind a star
And there you are
Whenever there’s a storm
I don’t even hear the thunder
My heart with love is so aflame
I only hear each little raindrop
Repeating your name
And when the long day is thru
I long for you, only you
Then I pretend you’re there
And there you are
