You Are There

In the evening, when the kettle's on for tea

An old familiar feeling settles over me

And it's your face I see

And I believe that you are there

In a garden, when I stop to touch a rose

And 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

And I rub my eyes

And fantasize

And all at once I realize

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 the dream is true

And tell myself that you are there
