Lyrics
Walking lost and lonely on the streets of the city,
Cold rain falling down from the skies.
I?m not only trying to fight back self pity,
But these tears coming to my eyes.
And suddenly again I know, that you are with me.
Standing close, standing oh so near.
Once again I know you are with me.
So close that I could hold you dear,
Standing oh so near.
It only seems like yesterday we were together.
Holding hands, walking in the park.
You made sun shine no matter what the weather.
You made light shine even in the dark.
And suddenly again I know you are with me.
Standing close, standing oh so near.
Once again I know you are with me.
So close that I could hold you dear,
Standing oh so near.
Deep in my heart, you know, our vows are unbroken.
We?re still together, you and I.
I wear your ring as a sign and a token.
You?ve gone away, but our love won?t die.
And suddenly again I know you are with me.
Standing close, standing oh so near.
Once again I know you are with me.
So close that I could hold you dear,
Once again I know you are with me.
So close that I could hold you dear,
Standing oh so near.
