Heart of Longing

I made it through a day without you here
You're moving like the wind
And many miles find their way beneath your wheels
Yet still somehow I feel you standing near
There's gentle in my heart tonight
Your love encircles me and holds me tight

I wonder what thoughts lay you down to sleep
A strangers town too far away
These loving arms can't hold you while you dream

It seems as though the time is standing still
The ticking of the clock is slow
But every passing moment brings you closer to my door

If you're ever lonely, call my name
I've found that I can do the same
I hear the echo of your laughter
I watch the stars and sun go after you
And it seems like only yesterday
You stole my heart and ran away
I've searched to find a love so strong
But with you I know I can't go wrong
So this heart of longing is waiting here for you

Just when I thought you'd never come to me
You took my hand and held me near
And the rain that fell had washed away my tears
And now that we have made it through the storm
I find that I am swept away
By the love that I have found within your heart

My love so true will always shelter you
Just caress you like a child
And when when you are down will see you to the dawn
And when the world is through and darkness fills the sky
Our love, I know, it will remain
Just a sign for what's to come, we did endure

If you're ever lonely, call my name
I've found that I can do the same
I hear the echo of your laughter
I watch the stars and sun go after you
And it seems like only yesterday
You stole my heart and ran away
I've searched to find a love so strong
But with you I know I can't go wrong
And this heart of longing is waiting here for you
Yes, this heart of longing is still waiting here for you.
