May these thoughts of mine reach out to you

And rekindle memories we both shared,

May they reflect the consuming thought

Of a love, we long ago declared.

May the spark of my undying passion

Underline these things I have to say,

Oh how I wish that you were in my arms

Instead of being so far away.

 

The hand of fate has decreed it

There is nought I can do or say

To the one that holds my eternal love

To the one who's far away.

 

I exist now in a land of dreams

My only link whilst we're apart

I fashion them so that you're with me

Sharing the love within my heart.

A heavy heart my darling

Nurturing a sorrow that won't go away

The burden of our separation

Increases ten fold every day.

 

The hand of fate has decreed it

There is nought I can do or say

To the one who holds my eternal love

To the one who's far away.

 

I long for our re-union

I pray that soon that day will dawn

So that you may reach out with your tender touch

And make whole this heart that's torn.

For the love I have and hold for you

Surpasses more than mere words can say

It is the beacon that lights the path

To one who is far away.

 

One day we'll be back together

And by your side I'll once more lay

Till then my darling I send my love

To one who's far away.
