As the stars shine down upon me

In the darkness of the night

I look up and hope to see you

As you live in Heaven's light

They say that you can see me

And that heaven's all around

Do you know how much I love you

I hope you don't see when I've frowned

I wear your love upon my Heart

I feel you wrapped inside my soul

Memories of you, they make me smile

You're still the half that makes me whole

And when I wake to find each day

That you're no longer here with me

I hope you hear me speak your name

I'll carry on your legacy

So as you watch me from in Heaven 

You're always welcome at my side

I hope to feel you standing with me

I hope I fill your soul with pride 

And as I journey through this life

Until my life is also through 

Please know I'm loving you from here

Until again I am with you
