You think you’ve lost me
But I’m not far away
I’ll be beside you everyday
Each time you hear the wind through a tree
Or the snow gently falling
Just think of me
I’m only ever a thought from your mind
I haven’t gone and left you behind

I loved you when you could feel my touch
From here, I’ll love you just as much
When you’re alone and feeling low
Close your eyes and feel the glow
Of my love warming you through and through
As only my love can do
Don’t shed tears and feel dismay
But think of me and smile each day

I will always be what I was to you then
One day when we meet again
I’ll hold you close and comfort your heart
Through eternity we’ll never part
Enjoy your life and deep in your soul
Remember me; remember the role
I played in making you what you are
Don’t forget I haven’t gone far

At night when you look up at a star
Then you’ll know I haven’t gone far
Whisper a prayer and soon you’ll begin
To open your heart and I’ll come back in
