I think of you so far away every morning when I rise
I need to smile with you, glance up at your blue eyes
I yearn to kiss your lips, and look at your sweet face
I want to walk with you, and feel your warm embrace
and oh, I long for you

This house without you here feels so lonely and cold
What I wouldn't give to bring you back, just for me to hold
I love the way you talk and think, all the unique things that you see
So here I am dreaming of you, writing a song about me
and oh, I long for you
and oh, I long for you

To feel the way you move
To fall into your arms
To hold your hand in mine
and have you open up my heart
To wake up in a dream
To listen to you sing
To guess what's on your mind
and to know just what you mean
Oh, I long for you

Every time I see the flame of a candle burning bright
I remember how we fell asleep, together that one night
Now you're half a country away and I can't wait for your call
I miss the way you look at me and how you're blind to all my faults
and oh, I long for you
Oh, I long for you

I'm trusting in God's power
I'm counting down the hours
Until the day
when I won't have to say
oh, I long for you
