Lyrics
Tonight I'm drowning in memories,
it all seems as close now as then.
As if -- if I reached out, I could touch your hand,
And look up to see you smile once again.
Here alone in the darkness,
Memories crowd every image that I see.
It's almost as if I hear you speaking,
You're over there waiting for me.
And I know that we'll be together,
Someday over in the sunrise,
Together once again and forever.
Where there are no more tears in your eyes.
And in the meantime, the love you left behind,
When life tore us apart,
Will carry me on, into a brighter dawn,
And I'll carry you here in my heart.
I didn't think I'd make it without you,
I couldn't face a world without your smile.
And there are days yet when it all feels a mistake,
you'll be back in just a little while....
But loving someone as I loved you,
means you borrow a corner of their soul,
And I can never be completely without you,
There's a bit of your life that my life holds.
And I know that we'll be together
Someday over in the sunrise.
Together once again and forever
Where there are no more tears in your eyes.
And in the meantime, the love you left behind,
When life tore us apart,
Will steady me on,
Into a brighter dawn,
And I'll carry you here,
Oh I'll carry you here,
Yes, I'll carry you here,
In my heart.
