Why do you look for me?

Why do you look for me in numbers never counted?

In words never spoken and pictures never mounted?

Why do you look for me over seas never explored?

In leaves never fallen and water never poured?



Why do you search through gardens never grown?

Under seats never sat on beneath quilts never sewn?

Why do you search through cheques never signed?

On dates never attended and dinners never dined?



In pages of diaries where your handwriting's faded?

In your face that has wrinkled and eyes, become jaded?

In dreams you don't remember in corners never swept?

In memories you've swallowed and tears never wept?



Why do you look for me? Why so far for me?

With those searching eyes if you looked closer you’d see

I'm not in imaginary places impossible and apart

I'm close and I'm with you, I’m right in your heart.
