Lyrics
All day I’m walking in a dream
I think about you constantly
Just like an ever flowing stream
Your memory haunts me constantly
Shadows fall and I try to drive you from my mind
So you’re no longer near to me
But my heart sees you there with me
Every sunset you share with me
The rain that patters through the trees
Reminds me of you constantly
Your name is whispered by the breeze
And love birds bring your song to me
Just as sure as the stars
Keep burning in the sky
Your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
Not only through the night
But constantly
Just as sure as each star
Keeps burning in the sky
Your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
Not only through the night
But constantly
Though we may be far apart
You’re constantly deep in my heart
