Fireside Afterglow

I'm not alone,

It's just that you are not here.

The room is full of silence,

But your voice is all I hear.

I am in love,

It's just that you don't know.

I hide it in the words I say,

And in the places that I go.

When I think of you,

Time just disappears.

Every little memory

Brings you closer, pulls me near.

When I think of you,

I swear you're next to me.

I close my eyes and suddenly

You're all I want to see.

Maybe you don't feel it,

Maybe you'll never know,

But you're the only place

My heart still calls home.

I talk to you in my head,

Say the things I never could.

I wonder if you miss me

The way I wish you would.

I smile at every memory,

Then ache when they are gone.

You're the reason I keep dreaming

When the night feels way too long.

When I think of you,

The world fades into blue.

There's a thousand things I want to say,

But they all lead back to you.

When I think of you,

I swear you're next to me.

I close my eyes and suddenly

You're all I want to see.

Maybe you don't feel it,

Maybe you'll never know,

But you're the only place

My heart still calls home.

Maybe someday

You'll hear this song

And realize

You've been here all along.

In every heartbeat,

Every lonely night,

In every dream

I hold too tight.

I'm not alone,

Even when you're far away.

I'm still in love,

Even with nothing left to say.

And when I think of you,

I don't feel lost anymore.

Because loving you

Is what my heart is waiting for.

I'm not alone...

It's just that you are not

here.

I'm in love...

It's just that you don't know.

And when I think of you...

You're closer than you know.

(closer than you know)
