With You Always
As you hold me close in
memory, even though
we are far apart, my
spirit will live on there
within your hearts "I will
always be with you"...

When you lean on trusted
friends and their caring
hugs enfold you, within
their loving arms I'll be
there to hold you, " I will
always be with you"...

Beyond the far horizon,
when we will finally be
together, where love will
be eternal, and life will
last forever " I will always
be with you"...
