Song of Songs On my bed at night I sought the man who is my sweetheart: I sought but could not find him! So I shall get up and go through the city; in the streets and in the squares, I shall seek my sweetheart. I sought but could not find him! ------------ I opened to my love, but he had turned and gone. My soul failed at his flight, I sought but could not find him, I called, but he did not answer. The watchmen met me, those who go on their rounds in the city. They beat me, they wounded me, they took my cloak away from me: those guardians of the ramparts! I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, if you should find my love, what are you to tell him? - That I am sick with love! Song of Songs 3:1-2, 5:6-8 New Jerusalem Bible |

I'm Already There He called her on the road From a lonely cold hotel room Just to hear her say "I love you" one more time But when he heard the sound Of the kids laughing in the background He had to wipe away a tear from his eye A little voice came on the phone Said "Daddy, when you comin' home?" He said the first thing that came to his mind I'm already there Take a look around I'm the sunshine in your hair, I'm the shadow on the ground I'm the whisper in the wind I'm your imaginary friend And I know I'm in your prayers Oh, I'm already there She got back on the phone Said "I really miss you darlin' Don't worry about the kids, they'll be alright Wish I was in your arms lyin' right there beside you But I know I'll be in your dreams tonight And I'll gently kiss your lips And touch you with my fingertips So turn out the light and close your eyes I'm already there Don't make a sound I'm the beating of your heart I'm the moonlight shining down I'm the whisper of the wind And I'll be there till the end Can you feel the love that we share Oh I'm already there We may be a thousand miles apart But I'll be with you wherever you are I'm already there Take a look around I'm the sunshine in your hair I'm the shadow on the ground I'm the whisper in the wind R.
