Just as Though You Were Here

<br>&lt;instrumental strings intro&gt;<br><br><br><br>Ill wake each morning and Ill promise to laugh<br><br>Ill say &quot;good morning&quot; to your old photograph<br><br>Then Ill speak to you, dear, just as though you were here<br><br><br><br>When purple shadows start to welcome the dark<br><br>Ill take the same old stroll we took through the park<br><br>And Ill cling to you, dear, just as though you were here<br><br><br><br>But I know so well that distance and time will finally tear us apart<br><br>The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts in my heart<br><br><br><br>Each night before I wander off into sleep<br><br>Ill bring to light the tears Ive buried so deep<br><br>Then Ill kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here<br><br><br><br>&lt;instrumental break-horns, harp, and strings&gt;<br><br><br><br>And when I hear a lonesome train, Im afraid<br><br>Ill think of all those trips we never quite made<br><br>Fragile dreams that we planned<br><br>Then Ill reach for your hand<br><br>Just as though, just as though you were here
