You're Not Here
The sky is blue
The air is clear
Almost perfect
But you're not here
The sand is warm
The ocean still
This would be bliss
But here's the deal
You're not with me
I'm all alone
It's not the same
Now that you're gone
It's not Eden
Without you here
The beauty pales
When seen through tears
Yes, Nature tries
The show is grand
But you're not here
To hold my hand
What would it take
To get you back
I am willing
If you but ask
This Paradise
Deserves much more
Than my sore heart
To dazzle for
It's meant for love
You know it's true
Come back to be
I still love you
I'll take the blame
If you'll forgive
We'll reunite
And hap'ly live
On this island
Heaven on earth
Just you and me
And sand and surf
