When I Need You

When I need to hold you close
And the miles keep us apart,
I close my eyes and dream of you
And find you in my heart!
The beauty in your eyes brings me to another day,
I love you more than any words could ever say.
My heart is not complete without you by my side,
With your tender touch, I am complete inside.
I would rather die than live without you,
With your love in me, there is nothing I can't do.
Everything for you comes straight from my heart,
Until our dying day, our souls will never part.
Again I say those words that are so dear to me,
I love you more than any love was meant to be.
Have you ever seen a rainbow
or watched a setting sun?
Gazed up at the stars at night
when a lonely day was done?
Have you walked along a meadow
and picked flowers growing wild?
Listened to a bird in spring or hugged a tiny child?
When God created all of these
There was no greater love
Than what he must have felt inside
Twas a gift from up above.
Oh, I have seen the rain dance
On my window sill,
And I have smelled the fragrance
Of a honeysuckle hill.
I've met a lot of people
And I've walked a lot of miles,
I've wiped a lot of tears away
And shared a lot of smiles.
Yes, I've met a lot of people
That have touched my life, and yet...
Only one has touched my soul
and I never will forget.
For this man that I am speaking of
It's face I've never seen,
Only in the pictures that have
Graced my computer screen.
I've never looked into his eyes
Nor touched his face so fair,
I've never held his hand in mine
nor brushed back a lock of hair.
But I have felt his presence
Each time the wind does blow,
And I can feel his love for me
Wherever I may go.
You see, our hearts have shared their dreams
Our souls have dared to soar,
Unto a place so magical
No one has gone before.
