Apart Together

I cannot always hold you tight

So I dream of you each night

Relive each treasured memory

Till I awaken with mornings light

Throughout the day my thoughts of you

Shall share a part of all I do

It helps me just to know you care

Keeps me from ever getting blue

The evenings long when I am alone

As each time I hear a jangling phone

I wish that you could call me up

Or I could call you on my own

One more bedtime brings heartache

That only loneliness apart can make

I toss and turn till sleep arrives

I feel I am drowning in a lovers lake

I know not where it all must end

I know not how my heart will mend

I only know love takes no pity

When cupids arrows he does send.
