Who can say for certain
Maybe you’re still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear
Here in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You’re atill an inspiration
Can it be
That you are mine forever love
And you are watching over me from up above
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know your there
A breath away’s not far
To where you are
Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn’t faith believing
All power can’t be seen
As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
Cause you are mine forever love
Watching me from up above
And I believe that angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for a while to know you’re there
A breath away’s not far to where you are
I know your there
A breath away’s not far to where you are.
taken from “To where you are”
This is not goodbye, just until we meet again.
