Lyrics

even though im not there you always know i care
even though im not there i put you in my prayers
even though im not there i have you in my mind
even though im not there your the apple of my eye
even though im not there your never second best
even though im not there i feel you in my chest
even though im not there you fill me up with pride
even though im not there im always by your side

things change things rearrange
but one thing will never change my love stays the same
no matter time or place with you or away
today tomorrow or any other day
I wont hesitate to demonstrate but wait
its all great these feelings when we intergrate
i pray we'll get together nothing in my lifes better
when i see you i really wanna be with you
i love you so much the things i can and cant touch
like your spirt soul and personality
so glad to be with you even when your mad at me
most happy when i hear your voice laughing
if something happens im the first to take action
i had to go away but some day we'll say hey
when i see you turn around as i squeeze you
hold you close your the one that i love most

theres a plan for every woman every man
we understand we never make too many demands
we cant handle open like a sandal
our relation out this world like a spaceship
lets face it we got a love thats gonna make it
they cant take it away or break it
and thats a fact well chat when i get back
a bond so tight it shines like the northern lights
it feels so right ill climb hills and ill fight
against a million for you day noon or night
this loves a mountain with golden water fountains
its overflowing and theres one thing im knowing
it keeps going like an endless battery
your all that matters to me hope that you can see
look at me it fills me with all i need
these memories soon will be realities

promises made ill take to the grave
im honest as abe so you can put that on the front page
and let the world know i love you from head to toe
anywhere we go i dont care to show it
lifes too short im not going to blow it
i make sure you know my loves purer than gold
it feels like heaven the day that we meet and
some day we're gonna feel that again
