Though you are so far away

In my heart you'll always stay

You are an image in my head

That visits me when I'm in bed

It whispers of sweet memories

I keep them close and treasure these

I put them next to your kind face

And hold them tight that they may break

And when I wake I feel at ease

For I am lucky to own these

With these thoughts I'm not alone

With these thoughts I'm close to home

Soon, my love that's where I'll be

Not just some distant melody

And when I am you'll never know

That I was ever gone at all
