You weren’t there to hold me in your arms
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there to wipe away those tears of solitude
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there to walk along the untrod paths
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there when I woke up with fear on the stormy nights
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there to light the candles blown out engulfed in darkness
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there to say those little words of encouragement
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there to lead my way on those unknown strides
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there to read me those silent stories of your heart
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there when I cried aloud when I could not take pain
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

You weren’t there when I wanted you to say – I am there
But my heart did that as if you were there…!

Now, when I am gone and not there
You say it all as if you did and always wanted
Alas, I am no more there to see and hear
But my heart will do that as if I was there…!
