If you were here, if you were near,
Your breath to be the only sound I hear...
If you were here-how would it be!
But you were not, and you won't be.

If you were here, right here with me,
And when I'm trapped, to set me free...
If you were here-how would it be!
But you were not, and you won't be.

If you were here, so I could cry,
And cry again, so you'd ask why...
If you were here-how would it be!
But you were not, and you won't be.

If you were here, I'd shily tell,
The way I feel and always felt...
If you were here-how would it be!
But you were not, and you won't be.

You never were- you'll never be-
And I won't cry-you're not with me-.
If you were here-how would it be!
But you are not, and you won't be.
