When I Am Gone

I hold you close and kiss your lips
can i not hold with tighter grip?
can i not stay for one more day?
well even that will go away
and i just want to say

each move you make is a memory
each word you speak is a melody
each tear you cry is a reason why
it's so hard now to say goodbye
each breathe you take is a gift to me
each kiss you give is an endless dream
each touch from you burns like the sun
will you still burn when i am gone?

here hold my hand before i go
and hear my song when you're alone
here take this kiss and hold it close
here hold my heart til i get home
and i want you to know

each move you make is a memory
each word you speak is a melody
each tear you cry is a reason why
it's so hard now to say goodbye
each breathe you take is a gift to me
each kiss you give is an endless dream
each touch from you burns like the sun
will you still burn when i am gone?

i close my eyes and i can see you
hear your voice and i can feel you
i'm away but i'm not gone
we're apart but not alone
i close my eyes and i can see you
hear your voice and i can feel you
i'm away but i'm not gone
we're apart but we are not alone

each move you make is a memory
each word you speak is a melody
each tear you cry is a reason why
it's so hard now to say goodbye
each breathe you take is a gift to me
each kiss you give is an endless dream
each touch from you burns like the sun
will you still burn when i am gone?
