Close Your Eyes

I can't be with you today

but if you close your eyes and think;

I'll be beside you in the kitchen

wearing your shirt - standing by the sink.

I'll be with you in the bedroom

waiting quietly on your bed;

Just close your eyes and think of me,

relive those memories in your head.

I'll stand by you in the bathroom,

an unlikely place to meet;

I'll smile at you so playfully

as I let you brush my teeth.

I'll be your light in the darkness,

shining steady through and through;

You only have to watch it glow

to know I think of you.

I'll be the music that you listen to,

I'll be there in every song:

I'll laugh with you and sing with you,

and comfort you when your day's gone wrong.

I'll be the wind that ruffles your hair,

I'll be that warm embrace;

I'll be the hand on your shoulder,

I'll be the tender touch on your face.

I'll be the clock gently ticking,

reminding you of the times;

We've shut the rest of the world outside

we're in our own world - yours and mine.

I'll be the moon as it dances

on the water cold and still;

For I have loved you always

and I know I always will.

Though you may not see me physically

as you live your life today;

Just close your eyes and think of me

I will not be far away.
