If you are not there-Song

 If you are not there

If I close my eyes,

If I close my eyes,

It is not the darkness that prevails.

I see your face in my memories.

 

If I am alone in my bed,

If I am alone in my bed,

It is not the loneliness that prevails.

I live with your memories that fill my dreams.

 

If you are not there to hug me

If you are not there to hug me

It is not the emptiness that prevails.

I feel your soft touch in my memories.

 

If you are not there to kiss me

If you are not there to kiss me

It is not the dryness on my lips that prevails.

I taste the memory of your kisses that lingers on my lips.

 

If you are not there to listen to me

If you are not there to listen to me

It is not the pain that prevails.

I cherish those days when you lend me your ears

 

 

If you are not around to talk to you

If you are not around to talk to you

It is not the silence that prevails.

I live with the memory of our conversations.

 

If you are not near me

If you are not near me

It is not the distance that prevails.

I live with the memories of our togetherness.

 

My mind and my heart

Have one sweetheart.

That sweetheart is you

a work of art.

 

It is you who lives in my heart,

Never away from me,

Always closer and tighter

 

I am waiting to relive

Those memories of you and me.

Come back to me,

Come back to me.

Let's make new moments to remember,

To replay when we are apart.
