I see your loving face.
As I gaze into the stars,
I feel your warm embrace.
When I try to sleep at night,
And I catch an awful fright,
I wish you were here with me.
So I could hold you close to me.
And when I start to cry,
Because of the pain deep down inside.
When I feel like I've seen a ghost,
That's when I need you most.
I know you feel the same for me,
And I know that this just can never be.
Because you're there and I'm here,
And there's so much distance between us.
Sometimes it's so hard to say,
But I love you more each and every day.
