You are somebody
That nobody knows
Wherever you are
Is where everyone goes
I can’t help but think
About what I do now
Will I see you someday
Will I find you somehow
Night follows day
The moon in the sky
The world keeps on turning
And no one knows why
It goes and it comes
It comes and it goes
Whichever direction
Nobody knows
Our times though cut short
Were precious and dear
However it happened
May never be clear
I’m here but you’re gone
I don’t understand
But you’re leading the way
Always holding my hand
The night is too black
Those times I’m alone
The road seems too long
I wish you’d come home
And when the sun rises
I look for you still
And then I remember
And remember I will
So we roll the days over
Again and again
And where we have ended
Is where we begin
And yes — stars they come
And light yes they bring
The miracle of life is
A beautiful thing
The wind in the sails
Water covers the earth
The day of our death
The day of our birth
Mile after mile
And after a while
The warmth of your heart
The breadth of your smile
They keep me going
The memories of love
That’s all I have left
Like the flight of a dove
Where are you now
Are you far, are you near
Are you helping me live
Will you help make it clear
Wherever you’re going
Wherever you’ve been
Whomever you’ve known
All of your friends
We all stand beside you
We all love you still
We’re missing you now
And forever we will
We sing and we talk
The world in our hands
We run and we walk
While beside us you stand
For us who live on
Let not your love wait
When they’re no longer here
It’s always too late
So we roll the days over
Again and again
And where we have ended
Is where we begin
And yes — stars they come
And light yes they bring
The miracle of life is
A beautiful thing
We know not where we’re goin’
We just know where we’ve been
The days we shared together
Memories — never end.
