If I Could Be Where You Are


The words are from Roma Ryan, lyricist for Enya, from Enya's CD Amarantine. I dedicate this to my daughter Diane and my son Charlie:

Where are you this moment?
Only in my dreams.
You're missing, but you're always
A heartbeat from me.

I'm lost now without you,
I don't know where you are.
I keep watching, I keep hoping,
But time keeps us apart

Is there a way I can find you,
Is there a sign I should know,
Is there a road I could follow
To bring you back home?

Winter lies before me
Now you're so far away.
In the darkness of my dreaming
The light of you will stay

If I could be close beside you
If I could be where you are
If I could reach out and touch you
And bring you back home

Is there a way I can find you

Is there a sign I should know
Is there a road I can follow
To bring you back home to me
