I Still Reach For You

[Intro] [doo wop backing] Shoo doo, shoo doo… ohhh ohhh… Shoo doo, shoo doo… my heart calls for you… [Verse 1] I’m walkin’ through the midnight, Where your memory softly glows. I smile like I’m alright now, But the truth already shows. You’re standin’ in the daylight, Yet you’re far as the silver moon. Why oh why, sweet Robin, Did you leave my arms so soon? [Chorus] So I pretend… With a trembling heart I defend… Though I see you every day, You’re a dream I can’t amend. Too real this ache… Too deep this lonely I can’t shake. I’m broken through and through— Still I reach for you. [Doo Wop Break] [background soft vocals] Shoo doo wah… shoo doo wah… My lonely, lonely heart… Shoo doo wah… shoo doo wah… Fallin’ apart… [Verse 2] Your laughter drifts around me, Like a song from long ago. I whisper to the shadows, Hoping somehow you’ll echo. You’re close enough to see me, But too far for love to stay. And I’m stranded in the moment Where you slowly slipped away. [Chorus] So I pretend… That your touch might return again. Though you’re near enough to see, You’re now an angel I can’t transcend. Why did you go Robin… Leaving echoes where love has been? My heart keeps breaking through— Still I reach for you. [Bridge] [dramatic, soft soaring] If love is forever, Then ours has never faded. I’m holdin’ to the promise Of the life we've made. [Final Chorus] So I pretend… That the night might bring you back again. But the truth keeps whispering low, And I lose that fight again. Why did you go… Leaving me with this hollow plea? I reach where you used to be— Still I pretend. [End Tag] You dance with the angels, You are gone from here, But not from me, You are in my everywhere.
