It just isn't fair how I remember your stare
And like a breeze in the air I want to hold you but you're not there
It took me by surprise but now you're gone and I realize
That I see you every sunrise and I am searching for you everywhere
So now you're gone from me and I'm trying to wait patiently
But that is much too hard you see 'cause our love is meant to be
A light for us to count on in the waves we venture out on
Whether we can make it out or not please just do this one thing for me and--
Give me just one sign that you are here
Send the wind to wipe away this falling tear
The dark will soon obscure my path from view
So tell the moon to rise and light my way to you
Oh walking down the road alone at night
Without you here I cannot tell the dark from light
But looking up into the shining stars above
Oh it reminds me of our deep and endless love
It just isn't fair how I am here but you're there
For you I'll go anywhere, I don't so easily scare
I searched for you both low and high and didn't care how hard I'd have to try
I'd make it back to you even if I die, there's nothing I wouldn't do until I was--
Walking down the road to you at last
Now I can finally forget my lonesome past
Neither earth below nor starry skies above
Could ever tear your hand away from mine my love
Oh how I'm trusting in the hope that you'll be here
Never more to shed a single lonely tear
Until fate so cruel decides our time is through
Still the stars above will shine for me and you
Coro: Seguro que llegaré por fin a tu lado
Porque me guia la luna
-So do not leave me on my own my darling becaues I can't bear the thought of it
To have you by my side each morning takes the hardship out of living
Coro: Seguro que llegaré por fin a tu lado
Porque me guian las estrellas
-If ever the path looks rough and stormy I'll take solace in your spirit
Even though we're separated now my love never again will I be leaving, no!
