I can no longer touch you
But here you are, still
Oh, how remnants of you continue to cling!
You're the motes I see dancing in the sunbeam
Your eyes will never again meet mine
But here you are, still
You're the gentle wind that continues to blow
the stormclouds out of my sky.
I'll never again hear your voice
But here you are, still
You're the rays of the sun beaming down
like a thousand moonbleams over my stygian abyss
You're forever out of sight
But here you are, still
You'll always be on my mind, and in my heart;
I still see you in dreams undreamt, in stars above.
So, you see, Dad, although...
I can no longer touch you,
Your eyes will never again meet mine,
I'll never again hear your voice,
and you're forever out of sight,
You're still here with me in spirit.
You never really left.
