If you see a distant star
in the evening sky
and you shiver from the chill night air,
yet you feel a warmth
in the depth of your heart,
then you know that I'm still there.
When your tears have dried,
the bed has grown cold
and you're feeling lost and adrift,
when the days feel empty
and the nights too long,
just remember, I gave you a gift.
A lifetime of memories
below a rainbow of love,
hearts like spring rain
as they fall from above,
to cover the ground
around your sweet feet,
a carpet of love;
every one a heartbeat.
For I promised you once,
long ago, far away,
that I would always be there,
never falter, never stray.
To my vow I hold firm
and we never shall part,
for I live deep within
every beat of your heart.
