You Will Always Be With Me

I hope this is suitable for the contest
It's tough to beat Perry or that beautiful song
Based on the song
"And I Love You So"  

Today you sang a song,
Somehow I knew each word,
explaining how I feel
Although, it's one I never heard

The tune was soft and smooth
as it filled my heart with calm 
While I reached my hand to you
You ran your cheek along my palm

And yes I know how lonely life can be
My tears could fill the sea
To think my dreams could never be
But now,  I hear this song you sing, I see
You will always be,  with me

Now I have to sing
A song you know so well
With lyrics and this tune
We'll stay together I can tell

But when the music fades
As we know it does in time
We shan't forget this tune
or the way that we both rhymed 

And yes I know how lonely life can be
My tears could fill the sea
To think my dreams could never be
But now,  I hear this song you sing, I see
You will always be,  with me

Today you sang a song,
Somehow I knew each word,
explaining how I feel
Although, it's one I never heard
