Can you see me as your heart sees
not apart from you, but a part of you
and remember me as the man I am
not the things I do or faults I have
and when you lie asleep at night
I'm beside you in your dream life
and when you open up your eyes
if you think of me...

Know I am compromised, 
fighting time and a busy life
and nothing seems to come easily
but I'll be there when you need me...
and when you walk along the street
and the wind blows like a memory
if you should wake up suddenly
and you think of me...

History is full of hurt and tears
but nothing worse than the fear,
I'm forgotten
Most of all I want to say
I hope you find your own way
and never quit but remember this
life is quick; make the most of it
and when you lie asleep at night 
I'm beside you in your dream life
and when you open up your eyes
if you think of me...
