Why are you so far from me
Every time I reach for your hand
Why does the distance keep growing
To this far off distant land
Don't you know that I
Wish I was home home with you
Counting the stars and
Watching the children who grew
I have spent all my time
Away with the wild kind
Finding a way back to
Your beautiful face in my mind
I wander through forests
And I cross raging streams
In hopes that I'll find you
In not just my vivid dreams
We will sit by the window
And watch the falling rain
And drink our cups of tea
Like we did once again
I'll plant flowers in spring
And in summer you will run
We will rake the leaves in the fall
And in winter wait for the sun
I will stare at your smile
And your bright blue shining eyes
And savor the moment
When again you are mine
I know I'll be home one day
But I don't know when that will be
So please can you make a promise
A promise that you will wait for me
