You seem to be just out of reach
And yet I know you're near
I think of you each passing day
Wishing you were here.

You're not a stranger to me
Or figment of my heart
I've dreamed you to reality
I've known you from the start

Our days on earth are few
We have no guarantee
Love is waiting patiently
Just for you and me

The hours pass so quickly
We're losing precious time
Hurry now and keep our love
From withering on the vine

The days and nights steal swiftly
The seasons now renew
Let's make a wish upon a star
Begin our lives anew
