As I stand here watching the sun set so clear,
I shut my eyes and picture my love so near.
I see him hugging me close, I see him kissing me slow,
I hear the words from his sweet lips telling me he?ll never let me go.

Fears haunt me when so far away my love lies,
for my eyes without him near, sad tears they constantly cry.
It seems so cruel of this world to keep us apart,
for my love for him is unconditional ? with all my heart.

Still my days are endless, my nights long too,
and all my thoughts of him with the passing days accrue.
My love for him grows stronger, my feelings for him too deep,
for in my mind and heart, my love I wish for a lifetime to keep.

For without my love beside me, there is no happy ending to my days,
for all I do each day and night, his touch and sweet kisses I crave.
For as long as these oceans and lands keep him and me apart,
I know that the beginning of my life is yet to start.

You're packing your bags
getting ready to leave again.
This scene should become familar
because if I want you
then this is how it'll be.
Saying goodbye hasn't gotten any easier.
Sometimes when it hurts so bad
the tears don't show,
but then other times
I can't stop the flow.
I pray every time you leave,
hoping you're thinking of me.
The days seem so long;
I need to be strong.
I hope when you come back
I'll still be the one.
You're everything I need and want.
You filled my emptiness,
and released my pain.
The next time you leave
will be the new start.
It all seems so scary,
so many doubts and fears;
all these unanswered questions.
I wish you knew how bad this hurts.
You'll come back and see me,
but once again you'll have to go.
Every night I'll dream a different dream,
You reaching out to hold me close...
pulling me tighter to give me a kiss...
sleeping at night with you next to me...
waking up and knowing you're still there.
Every minute I spend with you,
will be worth the time I've missed out on.

Your Name

I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.
