Vastness Surrounds

Vastness Surrounds

 

You’re an ocean away

But everyday I think about you with a smile

My precious one with the wind in your hair

Last time I saw you, you smiled.

 

You’re an ocean away

But every day I think about you for awhile

My precious one with a dream in your eyes

Last time I saw you, I smiled.

 

I remember you then

But I can’t tell you how

All of those days still so clear.

 

I remember you now

But can’t tell you how

More of those days surely near.

 

You’re an ocean away

But every day I lay beside you for some time

It all comes back as we talk on the phone

And I know in my heart that you’re mine.
