I go to see her several times a day
She never seems to know how long I've been away
But the nurses say she calls my name
Late at night

Sometimes we talk as if there's nothing wrong
And then suddenly she'll look away as if I'm gone
But by her side is where I belong
Even now

Deep inside a fire's still burning
Still I see her spirit glow
How long before You take her Lord
Only You can know
So I will hold her hand 'till evening
As the sun goes slowly down
I will lay my soul beside the coals
Until the light goes out

She never used to like my music loud
But I can turn the stereo way up now
Still it's hard to fill the silent house
Since she's gone

Lord it's hard to see through all these tears
She's so far away and yet she's so near
But until You make Your meaning clear
I'll be strong
