I’m sorry I can’t hold you, that I’m without you here tonight.
I’m sorry I can’t kiss you, that you’re so far away from sight.
I’m sorry I can’t lift you, and sweep you off your feet.
I’m sorry I can’t walk with you, throughout these city streets.

Know that I am with you, no matter where you go.
Know that my love goes on and on, so much more than words can show.
And in my heart I feel you, just beneath the skin.
These cold nights you keep me warm, I hold you here within.

Forgive me for my absence, I did not mean to leave you so forlorn.
Forgive me for my transgressions, our love, not lost, not yet to be mourned.
Forgive me for my silence, I can’t always think of words to say.
Forgive me for my incredulity, know that in my heart, I pray.

I pray that I should find you, in this life or the next.
I pray that should hold you, to alleviate these ill effects.
I pray that I should lift you, to take away all your pain.
I pray that I should walk with you, and carry you just the same.
