Saw you stepping down from the train
Into the busy city streets
Swear I heard you whisper my name
Made me miss another heartbeat
Sure I saw your face--
Alive in every passing stranger
Felt your breath like a sweet caress
Til there was nothing left
And I was blowing kisses in the wind

Every time I hear your voice
You let me know the love survived
Holding on for another day
Nobody can take your place
An angel in a state of grace
Shadows fall when you close you eyes

I hear you walking down to the church
Past the house we used to love
Try to hide you picture out of reach
But you're always high above me
Standing face to face
A beautiful familiar stranger
I'm on my knees like a summer breeze
Under the wishing tree
You give me the strength to carry on

Every time I hear your voice
You let me know the love survived
Holding on for another day
Nobody can take your place
An angel in a state of grace
Shadows fall when you close you eyes

Sometimes in the dead of night
You come for me
I reach out my hand to you
Ready to give up this fight
You give me the strength to carry on
