about

Long-distance relationships.

lyrics

You left far too early, I met you far too late
When I ask you how you're doing, you say "I'm doing great"
Well, the only thing I want is for you to be happy as you can be
And every once in a while, that you might think of me

You once said that seven hours was far too long a drive
But don't you know that I'll still love you as long as you're alive
I will still hold your heart, my dear, even if I can't hold your hand
You are my sunshine, my shining beacon, no matter where you stand

And if you ever doubt it, don't you worry about it
It will get lonely at times, but don't you let it bother you
None at all
Pretty soon you'll see, love, the gift you've given me, love
The leaves on the trees are just as beautiful
When they fall

The days are getting shorter, it gets colder every day
But every time I think of you, I ask, "How will I have fun today?"
Because, though I'm lonely, I can't help but see
The good you've done for me
And that the best way to repay you is to live happily

And if you ever doubt it, don't you worry about it
It will get lonely at times, but don't you let it bother you
None at all
Pretty soon you'll see, love, the gift you've given me, love
The leaves on the trees are just as beautiful
When they fall

Don't you ever let it bother you
None at all
The stars in the sky are just as beautiful
When they fall
