Just as Though You Were Here Lyrics

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

So don't be afraid that distance and time
Will finally tear us apart
The farther you go, the longer you stay
The deeper you grow 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

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
And though you're gone
My love for you goes on, darling
Just as though you were here
