[Chorus] I hear your voice there in the night, An echo soft and clear. Though miles have come between us now, I’ll always hold you near. Now every single time I cry, I wish that you could hear How much I've longed to say to you, I’ll always hold you near. [Verse 2] You took with you the only love That I have ever shown, For you are very truly The only love I’ve known. [Chorus] I hear your voice there in the night, An echo soft and clear. Though miles have come between us now, I’ll always hold you near. Now every single time I cry, I wish that you could hear How much I've longed to say to you, I’ll always hold you near. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] Each night I’ve cried alone for you And wished that you were here, And even though you’re far away I’ll always hold you near. [Chorus] I hear your voice there in the night, An echo soft and clear. Though miles have come between us now, I’ll always hold you near. Now every single time I cry, I wish that you could hear How much I've longed to say to you, I’ll always hold you near. [Instrumental Outro]
