Can you hear me singing

From way out there all by yourself can you hear me singing This song is for you darling, and only for your ears It’s the longing for you that inspires me to sing to you To create for you and to love you more and more each day

So far and yet so close and how far we’ve come I sing for you day and night Can you hear me singing, this is to keep us alive For you my love, soon we will be together

Can you hear me singing so deep in the dark Or is there light for you to sing to I know one day you’ll wake, one day you’ll open your eyes and smile Each day with you is a wonder, a blessing

I feel your life in my hands, with each breath you take I sing Can you hear me singing to you my darling It’s a long sleep but one day you’ll wake I will sing you awake in my arms

Follow the sound of my voice, this love song is for you It’s hear you’ll find your way, into the music of our voice Remember how you sang to me, remember our voices together Can you hear us singing, it’s how you’ll find your way home

Can you hear me singing my love, it’s all for you This long sleep has kept you from me but soon I know you’ll sing with me Life is still with you and in you, in this love song for you You can hear me singing, I feel it in your hand

Listen to my voice, listen to me singing, I’ll guide you home Can you hear us singing together again, it’s one voice, one heart, our love Can you hear me singing, it’s all for you
