The days are long as are the miles
I know where you are i know you smile
For i know that deep in my heart
You are already here with me never to part
The days go on and my life becomes less
For i can not spend them over again with you unless
I keep the memories locked inside my mind
But the mornings melt into the nights leaving me blind
I do miss you and i know there is a great gulf from you to me
So every night before i go to bed i get on my knees
And pray to The Lord up above
That he hastens your pace and gives you wings of a dove
For i wish i could rewind the hands of time
And spend every waking minute with you being sublime
My heart does ache for your tender touch all the while
But the dust still blows over the miles
Until i feel and touch your very face
My heart goes on it knows it's place
For the beat and the march are all the same
A fading crescendo with a name
My journey has been thru ups and downs
All will go on until you are around
But i the tears flow thru me when i see you not
For it's me missing you placing bets on empty lots
I have seen the clouds build up on while a storm begins to rage
Another fading day adding to my age
For endure in life i have always learned
You can't have a flame and still not be burned
But the hope has always made me keep my face to the wind
For one day over the hill i will see my lover and friend
She will come to me with tears in her eyes
This i have seen in dreams, they never lie
I stand here wondering where i must turn
Lost without you until you return
For my eyes never dim until them i sleep
And waken to another day yet life will pass on it creeps
Hours and hours add up them i can not count
Everything takes a its place in their own account
I miss you terribly my dear loving soul
I have wept my way to God to let him know
That in my life nothing will be complete
Until you are safely tucked in my arms when we meet
I can not add nor can i take away from myself
But time like dust does cover every shelf
One thing my heart does compel me to tell
Heaven isn't here yet this is hell
Please suffer me not until that day
I just wanted you to know what my heart had to say
