From Half A World Away

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I see your smile
And know that you feel joy.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I hear your voice,
Your gentle song of love.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I feel your touch
And know where I belong.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I brush your lips.
They tremble, as do mine.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I feel your hair
Fall gently on my face.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I taste your tears.
They tell me I am missed.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I know we too
Shall never be alone.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I sense your thoughts,
And know they are of me.

I close my eyes
And from half a world away
I finally see
The reason for my life.
