I call to you — you come to me We meet within a song, For you are in a dif'rent place, Where you don’t quite belong. We listen each in solitude To verses soft that chime, And melody unites our hearts Across space and time. Your joy, your warmth, your gentle soul I’ll always hold so dear, No matter where in this wide world you are, far away or near . My longing still continues on, It grows though we’re apart, I love you wholly, skin and soul, With all my mourning heart. Yet separated still we stand, By fate’s unyielding flow, For life’s own time is life’s own lot When final sands run low. But I still hold the memories Of bright days and of gray, And love outlives the destiny That carried you away. I know the days will wander on, And time will fade from view, But you will always still be near — Forever true and dear
