When You Are Here
(Anderson)
I want you here at times when I'm the furthest thing from your mind
And every word we've spoken is a promise still unbroken
Nothing could be better on our own uncertain terms

I want to feel the press of an up-close laugh and a brief caress
Our curbside touch and tangle looks like love from any angle
Approved by all the passers-by, who throw us knowing smiles

And while you are away, I hope that you can say that
Someone at a distance holds you dear
The patience we've displayed will someday be repaid
When you are here

I want you here today, for a shumai fest and chardonnay
Our nighttime kitchen dances blossom into full romances
I'd never been that happy, I suppose that you could tell

And while you are away, I hope that you can say that
Someone at a distance holds you dear
The patience we've displayed will someday be repaid
When you are here
