I wish you wouldn’t cry, The way you did today, While thinking of the many things We did not get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, Do not think we’re far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart."
