Absence Is To Love (Like The Wind Is To Fire)

I told you way back when I’d love you forever,
You know, forever is a long, long time
And you told me way back then you’d be mine forever,
Forever, you’d be mine

Tonight we’re far apart,
But you’re right here in my heart
Absence is to love as the wind is to fire
The weak blow away, but the strong flame burns higher

There’s a star up in the sky shining so brightly,
You know it’s shining down on you
And, if you close your eyes you feel my arms wrapping tightly,
Wrapping all around you

Though you’re not here tonight,
In my heart the flame burns bright
Absence is to love as the wind is to fire
The weak blow away, but the strong flame burns higher

Though you’re not here tonight,
In my heart the flame burns bright
Absence is to love as the wind is to fire
The weak blow away, but the strong flame burns higher
