I Know You By Heart

There’s time and space between where we are and where we’ve been
I grieve for what I cannot have or ever hold again
Just when I think I’m all alone cause you’re so far away
It suddenly occurs to me I see you everyday
You’re that hint of inspiration urging me to carry on
A boost of needed energy when all my strength is gone
You’re a single shining ray of hope when faith is hard to find
And twenty-twenty vision when regret has left me blind
You’re a lonely roads companion when it’s hard to find a friend
A much needed reminder that good-bye is not the end
You’re calm and reassurance when I scream for answers, "Why?"
A gentle voice that whispers, "Daddy it’s OK to cry."
You’re part of everything I am and all I’ll ever be
The one who when I’m at my worst still sees the best in me
And though you’re just outside my reach we’re never far apart
I’d recognize you anywhere cause I know you by heart
