Feel your touch and see your smile
Gathered dreams that are worthwhile
Each time in life you call to me
I'm at your side so reverently

You're the shadow in my mind
Yet your presence is defined
Always reach to touch your face
Feel the gentle warm embrace

Your arms around me holding close
This the time I love the most
Then I look and you're not here
Yet your presence I revere

Stay with me and please don't go
I hear your heart ~ it's beating so
Or is it mine that beats so fast
Connecting us with love that lasts

Shadow of my heart and mind
All these moments love combined
Take my hand and walk with me
Share this dream of ecstasy.
