     bass interlude:   Bm|| ||| ||| ||/C#  D....

 

I look around me and feel you are ever so close to me.

Each tear that floats from my eye, brings back memories of you to me.

When morning comes again I have the lone-li-ness you left me.

Each day turns by until finally my time descends on me.

I go to sleep, sleep and imagine that you're there with me.
