You are so far away On this cold and empty night As I lie in a hotel room Looking at a street light Outside my window I listen to the rain And the sounds of the passing cars And the waves on English Bay
And I wonder if you think of me As I dream of you Do you hear the song That I sing From this hotel room 'Cause I see you in the stars above And in every setting sun And even though you're fifteen hundred miles away I hear you howling at the moon
And I hold you in my mind And I start to float away Yea the whole world seems very strange In a pleasant kinda way
And as the morning sun comes up And puts an end to this long night More than anything I wish You were here Lying by my side Holding me near Listening to the rain And the passing cars And the waves on English Bay
