Lyrics
I see your face clearly
In all of my dreams
I hold your hand deep in my heart
And though you?re not near me
Our thoughts run in streams
Whenever we?re apart
Whenever we?re apart
The room that you slept in
The clothes that you wore
Your things all arranged just right
We all wait together
Here by the door
Till the day drives away the night
Till the day drives away the night
I wait for your voice
Sounding faint on the phone
Each ring makes me jump with a start
I know I?ve no choice
But to wait here alone
Whenever we?re apart
Whenever we?re apart
Refrain
I send my thoughts to you
Across time and space
As the shadows softly depart
There?s nothing I can do
But keep vigil in this place
Whenever we?re apart
Whenever we?re apart
