Memories and Maybes

I wonder where you are tonight?
Coming in from another flight
And you're so far away;
Oh, darlin' what can I say?

The time we have goes much too fast,
I wish the memories would make it last
To ease this missing of you,
But they never do.

    You know that I love you
    You know that I want you
    You know I need you in my arms tonight.
    But this love is so strong--
    I've felt it for so long--
    That I'll just hold you in my heart
    While you're gone.

The future isn't ours to see;
Maybe someday you'll come home to me
Instead of lonely hotels;
Only time will tell.

But you go your way and I go mine;
A kiss goodbye and I'm doing fine--
At least that's what I say,
Remembering yesterday.

    You know that I love you
    You know that I want you
    You know I need you in my arms--

        But I'm just holding on to memories and maybes;
        Hoping for the day that our lives won't take us down separate roads
        Again and again.

        It seems that dreams can keep it going forever
        But I want to have you with me in so much more than just fantasy;
        Will it ever be?

        You know that I love you
        You know that I want you
        You know I need you in my arms tonight!
        But this love is so strong--
        I've felt it for so long--
        That I'll just hold you in my heart
        While you're gone....
