I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep
I could see that you'd been crying, you found it hard to sleep
I whispered to you softly as you brushed away a tear
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I am here!'

I stood close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour your tea
You were thinking of the many times you poured a cup for me
I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I'd helped you more

I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care
I tried to reassure you 'I'm here, not laying there'
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled with your key
I gently put my hand in yours, I smiled and said 'It's me'

You seemed so slow and very tired, you sank into the chair
I tried so hard to let you know that I was really there
To show you that it's possible to be near you every day
To say to you with certainty - I have never gone away

You sat there very quietly then smiled, I think you knew
That in the quiet of evening I was very close to you
Another day over you climbed the stairs, I saw that you were yawning
I said 'Goodnight, God bless you, I'll see you in the morning'

You know that when your time comes to cross that brief divide
I'll rush across to meet you, we'll stand together side by side
I've so many things to show you, there's so many things to do
I'm watching, smiling waiting, I'm so very close to you
