-- Somewhere I Will Find You –

John Herlihy

I have look everywhere for you,

Though I never found you there.

I reflect on the qualities in you,

That I whisper quietly in prayer.

Until now, I manage without you,

Knowing you will soon be there.

Some days happy, others are blue,

Some days cloudy, others are fair.

The loved one, but who are thou?

Always searching, seeking, missing.

My loved one, but where are thou?

Always yearning for your blessing.

Somehow, I do come upon you,

Here and there in a random hour.

Some past memory on wind flew,

Discovered by force of willpower.

I will always keep searching for you,

Somehow, somewhere, anywhere.

My heart with a place only for you,

The rest of this world I can spare.

Indeed, somewhere I will find you,

In my thoughts, you are never lost.

Even now my heart filled with you,

Winter tinged with beautiful frost.

Even if I never on earth find you,

Enough your presence still there.

Far beyond that heavenly sky blue,

You are my someone, somewhere.
