You Are There

In the evening
When the kettle's on for tea
An old familiar feeling settles over me
And it's your face I see
And I believe that you are there

In a garden
When I stop to touch a rose
And feel the petal soft and sweet against my nose
I smile and I suppose
That somehow, maybe, you are there

When I'm dreaming
And I find myself awake without a warning
And I rub my eyes and fantasise
And all at once I realise

It's morning
And my fantasy is fading
Like a distant star at dawn
My dearest dream is gone
I sometimes think there's just one thing to do
Pretend the dream was true
And tell myself that you are there
