I remember saying goodbye And promising we'd try Through the laughter and the tears Pushing our fears aside Watching sunsets all alone As we waited by the phone For we knew that someday soon I'd be here with you We would struggle and we'd pray To make the most of everyday 'Cause holding the picture you had framed Was not the same as holding you We sealed our letters with a smile Blew each kiss two thousand miles Our hopes and dreams would have to do 'Til I was here with you I envied little teddy bears always there to hug you And the flowers that would watch you passing by I inspected every minute to see if you were in it Wanting desperately to look into your eyes But together or apart You are always in my heart And my love for you still grows Cause we chose to love We won't always understand But can trust greater plan For after all He's brought us through I'm finally here with you
