Lyrics of Song Just As Though You Were Here

<instrumental strings intro>

I´ll wake each morning and i´ll promise to laugh
I´ll say "good morning" to your old photograph
Then i´ll speak to you, dear, just as though you were here

When purple shadows start to welcome the dark
I´ll take the same old stroll we took through the park
And i´ll cling to you, dear, just as though you were here

But i know so well that distance and time will finally tear us apart
The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts in my heart

Each night before i wander off into sleep
I´ll bring to light the tears i´ve buried so deep
Then i´ll kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here

<instrumental break-horns, harp, and strings>

And when i hear a lonesome train, i´m afraid
I´ll think of all those trips we never quite made
Fragile dreams that we planned
Then i´ll reach for your hand
Just as though, just as though you were here
