A Thousand Miles Away 

A thousand miles away 
somehow you still feel here 
everything I couldn't say 
I said in parting tears 

This all must be a dream 
from the day you went away 
nothing is as it seems 
fading into grey 

An emptiness I feel within 
only filled by you 
a silence with no end 
do you feel it too 

So much I want to hide 
The tears I cry each day 
the pain I feel  inside 
if only you had stayed 

As I lie in bed at night 
I miss the way you feel 
wishing with all my might 
this didn't feel so real 

What I tell you is all true 
just one thing left to say 
sending my "I love you" 
a thousand miles away
