Counting the Tears

I know that you miss me,
I can see you standing there
You keep looking for me,
Even though you know I'm not here
I see you look into the night,
Oh, how I wish that I could guide,
All the steps that you take...
But the only time I can come to you,
Is when you're not awake...
Even though I'm gone,
My heart still breaks...

Don't...forget...
Don't give in to your fears,
I will always love you,
And I am counting the tears,
As they fall down your face,
Oh, how I wish I could erase,
All of your pain...
But I am no longer with you,
Only my memory remains...

You are far stronger,
Than I ever knew you to be
I wish I had seen this,
When you were with me
But now we are separated,
By a distance too far to conceive
I can't believe I'm not with you,
I feel like I've been deceived
Because I see the love,
You still have for me...
You still believe...

Don't...forget...
Don't give in to your fears,
I will always love you,
And I am counting the tears,
As they fall down your face,
Oh, how I wish I could erase,
All of your pain...
But I am no longer with you,
Only my memory remains...

Every time you think of me,
That's when I am there
I really think you can feel me,
I know you are aware
I wish you could see me,
Just one more time,
Then you'd know you're not alone,
And that your sun still shines...

So don't...forget...
Don't give in to your fears,
I will always love you,
And I am counting the tears
As they fall down your face,
Oh how I wish I could erase,
All of your pain...
But I am no longer with you,
Only my memory remains!
I know that nothing is the same,
But things aren't so different,
They only seem so strange!
Oh baby,
Don't...forget,
Don't give into your fears,
I will always love you!
And I am counting the tears!
As they fall down your face,
Oh, how I wish I could erase!
All of your pain...!
But I am no longer with you...
Only my memory remains...
