I know why I’m alive,
What I strive to live for;
Is to stay in your eyes,
And never fade away

Soft kisses and holding hands
A shoulder to lean upon
We bring up the past and laugh in the present
Remembering you’ll be leaving soon

We’ll go where we want to
Side by side we’re unstoppable
Happily reunited
Until the day you leave again

That day comes by again
When we must say our goodbyes
I believe you when you say you’ll return
But my heart is weary

Listening to the waves crash upon the rocks
I smile and turn to you
But you’re not there anymore
I find myself missing you again

I hope when you’re home
You’ll look at the stars
And think of me, the way I think of you
Every night before I sleep
