And softly like a wild bird in flight I feel you land like a whisper at my feet
 And I can't get you off my mind tonight
 And it's like an empty tune with a vacant beat
 
The road keeps on losing it's aim just as I never cease to lose myself
 And I know that I won't be the same
 Until I store you up high upon some shelf
 
Softly by the brightest moon at night
 I can feel you breathing like a tide in my ear
 And I cannot lose this little ray of light
 'Cause I know it's just too dark without you here
 
And softly like a dream amidst the day
 You come in and you lose my track
 And for as far as I've gotten away it's so quickly brought me right on back
 
Softly by the brightest moon at night
 I can feel you breathing like a tide in my ear
 And I cannot lose this little ray of light
 'Cause I know it's just too dark without you here
 
Because now as you speak
 I smile on inside with the kind of weak so unable to hide
 And this restless night will simply not abide the things that I'm trying to lose
 Oh
 All the things I let myself use in order to forget you
 In order to forget you
 
Softly by the brightest moon at night
 I can feel you breathing like a tide in my ear
 And I cannot lose this little ray of light
 'Cause I know it's just too dark without you here
 
Without you here
