I dream of you

Today I'm sitting at the spot

I call our secret place

With eyes closed tight I dream of you

The tears stream down my face

I left you here a year ago

It was to my despair

The emptiness within me

Is more than I can bear

Where are you today my darling?

Where are you today my dear?

A part of me is missing

I wish you still were here

Are you perhaps in China

Maybe right down the street

Sometimes I walk right by that place

In hopes our eyes will meet

I left you here my daughter

I left you in this place

Each time I close my eyes at night

My dreams fill with your face

I will always love you

I will always care

Even though I left you here

My dreams are yours to share

Please forgive me little one

There was no other choice

When you close your eyes at night

Your heartbeat is my voice.
