I told you way back when I'd love you forever
You know, forever is a long, long time
And you told me way back then you'd be mine forever
Forever, you'd be mine
Tonight we're far apart
But you're right here in my heart
Absence is to love as the wind is to fire
The weak blow away, but the strong flame burns higher
There's a star up in the sky shining so brightly
You know it's shining down on you
And, if you close your eyes you feel my arms wrapping tightly
Wrapping all around you
Though you're not here tonight
In my heart the flame burns bright
Absence is to love as the wind is to fire
The weak blow away, but the strong flame burns higher
Though you're not here tonight
In my heart the flame burns bright
Absence is to love as the wind is to fire
The weak blow away, but the strong flame burns higher
