You'll Be With Me (5:01)

YOU’LL BE WITH ME
Now you dwell in a secret place
& though I cannot see your face
in everything, I feel a trace
of your life, of your light, of your love

I held you when I had you in my arms
& you hold me still even where you are
as the heavens hold the holy stars
shining bright with their light up above
as your light, as your life as your love


Now you're the light on the water glistening
Now you're the melody & I'm always listening
Now you're the birdsong at dawn calling
Now you're the star in the heavens falling
Now you're the wind in the windmill turning
Now you're the embers in the fire still burning
When I close my eyes, you're still by my side
& I'm closer to you here in paradise


The shell held the ocean until it learned its song
The cocoon holds the butterfly until its wings are strong
Now my soul sings the song
of your life, of your light, of your love

The body is a nest from which the soul flies
I remember the day you were freed into sky
And now I release you & feel you fly
with the strength of your light & your love
Larger than life up above


Now you're the light on the water glistening
Now you're the melody & I'm always listening
Now you're the birdsong at dawn calling
Now you're the star in the heavens falling
Now you're the wind in the windmill turning
Now you're the embers in the fire still burning
When I close my eyes, you're still by my side
& I'm closer to you here in paradise


One by one the petals fell
evidence of a flower I've held
forget-me-nots & remember-me-wells
Oh, how I love you
Now you're in your reverie...
wildflower fields & dancing streams
Lay down, Sweetheart, in that blanket of green
I'll dream of you You'll dream with me
I'll dream with you You'll dream with me
