long since the day
i last saw your face
the distance between gets a little hard to bare
sometimes can't seem to keep my two feet on the ground
constantly wandering, these are the ties that bind
ink in the skin to remind, so defined
never healed and never out of mind
you are always by my side
maps drawn by hand to direct, so complex
the day when we're far apart seas may divide
mountains block our view, so far out of sight
you are always in my thought, seas may divide
mountains block our view, so far out of sight
you are always in my thoughts
and though we're so far apart
you are always here in my heart,
i'm singing this song, for you
you mean so much
you opened my eyes
opened my mind
you changed the world for me
i'm writing these words, for you
you mean so much
you opened my eyes
opened my mind
you changed the world for me
singing this song, writing these words
i hope you'll hear, i hope you know
and as the sun it sets today, your star will always lead the way
anywhere
and though we're always far apart,
you're present here in my heart
everywhere
