VERSE 2

Wherever I am girl, I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there
Whoever I'm with I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that you can't hear
Sad that you can't hear, it always ends up to one thing honey 
When I look and you're not there


VERSE 3

I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms surround you, like the sea around the shore
And each night and day I pray, in hope that I might find you
In hope that I might find you, because hearts can do no more
Hearts can do no more, it always ends up to one thing honey
Still I kneel upon the floor


VERSE 4

How can I tell you that I love you
I love you but I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you
It always ends up to one thing honey 
and I can't think of right things to say
