Your visits are short
as are your hugs
Though they appear long
it's never enough
Our talk is so small
but we listen and nod
'Cause it's better to speak
than not talk at all

Because you have left
things just aren't the same
The thought of your absence
brings me much pain
It kills me to see
someone else in your place
But if you had the choice
you could have just stayed

I cry when I know
that something is over
But my tears stay inside
when something's not done
I pray that your visits
will continue to bless me
And when you arrive
I'll know that I've won

And though we say 'bye'
it's never the end
Because the face is still dry
despite the mood that I'm in
And when the day has closed
my hope stays inside me
So I'll wait for the day
when I see you again
