In Front of Me

I have this picture here in front of me

The only thing of you I own

And even though you are here with me

I look around and I am alone

I hear your voice, in ways it comforts me

In other ways it brings me down

I wipe away a tear that lingers still

Because I’m alone when I look around

And though my heart cries out for you

And tears show my pain

Words are all I can send to you

Until I see you once again

I hope someday to see your face

Touch it gently with my hand

Wipe the tears falling from your eyes

Love you like no other man

And though my heart cries out for you

And tears show my pain

Words are all I can send to you

Until I see you once again

But for now in silence I sit alone

Your picture in front of me

Holding on as hard as I can

Until the next time you are here with me

And though my heart cries out for you

And tears show my pain

Words are all I can send to you

Until I see you once again

See you once again
