Always

I close my eyes
And I see......you
The fragrance still lingering
From your soft perfume
Your presence still here
In my heart

I long to tell you
That....I love you
And
I always have
But you've left for the day
The longer that I live
I find that.....,
You are the essence of my day

And if you look
You'll always find.....,
That I'm always by your side
In heart mind and soul
I'm with you

Like the oceans deep
You move me
The ebb and flow
Of the tide
Courses like the blood in my veins
Always driven by you
For.....,
You are always on my mind

I loved you then
And I love you more today
You are always with me
And.....,
You'll always find me at your side
In heart mind and soul
I'm with you
driven by you

And so I end this day
Closing my eyes
I see......you in my dreams
The fragrance still lingering
From your soft perfume
Your presence still here
In my heart

But you're safe in my arms
As I sleep
Always..........,
