It's Just That Way

I cannot see the sun, 
               though I know it is there
I cannot hear the birds, 
               though you swear that they sing
I cannot feel the breeze 
               from the east on this morn
But I know 
                 that I 
                                feel you near

	
I cannot touch the softness
	of the clouds in the sky
I cannot hear the sounds
	of newborns as they cry
I cannot taste the sweetness
	of the grapes from the vine
But I can
	when you
		hold me, dear
