now i will be the one
to unlock the mystery
and given time and faith
her steps i will retrace

a long and tortured year
i swear it will not rain
your rose bush on the hill
has bloomed and blown away

heaven strike me down
strike me down

always with you
i will be always with you now
always with you
i will be always with you now

i built this house from the ground
laid stones with my own hands
a final resting place
side by side, rain soak the lands

heaven strike me down
strike me down

always with you
i will be always with you now
always with you
i will be always with you now
stars burn within you
i will be the first to follow
always with you
i will be always with you now

the light in your eyes keeps me awake
vanity bears down, love, i can't escape
your gorgeous face above looking down on me
in your arms again, i will always be...

always
