I close my eyes and you are there,
I see your lips, your eyes, your hair
I keep them closed so I can see
The wonderful things you mean to me

I see my world, my breath, my life
I see you there, my love, my wife
I see your smile, I see your walk
I hear the music when you talk

I feel the warmth of your embrace
I feel the beauty of your face
I feel your body next to mine
I taste your kisses, sweet as wine

I open my eyes and you're still there
But only in my thoughts so dear
So you are with me day andnight
My friend, my love, my pride, my light

I will try forever and hope to see
This curtain pulled back between you and me
Then and only then will my life restart
For I just can't live without your heart

When you read these words, don't shed a tear,
For I know they are not what you want to hear
But please believe me when I say
I will love you until my dying day.
