Just as Though You Were Here — текст песни (Frank Sinatra)

<instrumental strings intro>



Ill wake each morning and Ill promise to laugh

Ill say "good morning" to your old photograph

Then Ill speak to you, dear, just as though you were here



When purple shadows start to welcome the dark

Ill take the same old stroll we took through the park

And Ill cling to you, dear, just as though you were here



But I know so well that distance and time will finally tear us apart

The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts in my heart



Each night before I wander off into sleep

Ill bring to light the tears Ive buried so deep

Then Ill kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here



<instrumental break-horns, harp, and strings>



And when I hear a lonesome train, Im afraid

Ill think of all those trips we never quite made

Fragile dreams that we planned

Then Ill reach for your hand

Just as though, just as though you were here
