You Are There

In the evening
When the kettle is on for tea
And all familiar feelings settles over me And it’s your face I see
And I believe that you are there
In a garden
When I start to touch a rose
I feel the petals soft and sweet against my nose
I smile and I suppose
That somehow maybe you are there
When I’m dreaming
And I find myself awake without a warning
Then I rub my eyes and fantasize
And all at once I realise
It’s morning
And my fantasy is fading like a distant star at dawn
My dearest dream is gone
I often think there’s just one thing to do —
Pretend that dream is true
And tell myself that you are there
