I'll wake each morning and I'll promise to laugh I'll say Good morning to your old photograph Then I'll speak to you, dear, just as though you were here
When purple shadows start to welcome the dark I'll take the same old stroll we took through the park And I'll cling to you, dear, just as though you were here
But I know so well that distance and time will finally tear us apart The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts in my heart
Each night before I wander off into sleep I'll bring to light the tears I've buried so deep Then I'll kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here
And when I hear a lonesome train, I'm afraid I'll think of all those trips we never quite made Fragile dreams that we planned Then I'll reach for your hand Just as though, just as though you were here
