Though love of my life you're an ocean away,
Still I can feel you draw closer each day.
The passion transcends all these lonely miles,
My heart - not my eyes - knows the warmth of your smile.
Though tears fall like rain on my cheek as a write,
I know I can make it through these lonely nights.
For the joy that we share is the light in my life,
To carry me forward through sadness and strife.
I'll cling to our love like a man lost at sea,
Who glimpses a light from a tall balcony.
Through wind and rain and forever and more,
The love that we share will guide me to the shore.
