Norm Crouse - Always Here Lyrics

I knew you had to go away
I knew you couldn't stay

I'm not going to focus
On the fact that you are gone
I'm not going to ever ask
For some way to carry on
I won't sit here all alone
And wonder and feel sad
Instead I'll choose to focus
On the good life that we had

When I think on all the years together
I can't help but smile
Though I'll miss you, I'm still glad
You were here with me awhile
You're still here in the memory
Of every moment that we shared
I sit in silent gratitude
Just knowing that you cared

I will always see you
In my lasting inner eye
I will always hold you dear
And think on your soft sigh
Memories are timeless
When we think on them each day
The tenderness of your caress
Time can't take away

When I think on all the years together
I can't help but smile
Though I'll miss you, I'm still glad
You were here with me awhile
You're still here in the memory
Of every moment that we shared
I sit in silent gratitude
Just knowing that you cared

You're hear and you will always stay
You're here with me today
