Lyrics
If I could only see, you standing there in front of me.
Just one more time, lord one more time.
And if I could talk to you ,and you could talk to me.
Just one more time, Lord one more time.
I know that I cant see you any more, standing on that far and distant shore.
But time will pass and in the end you’ll be.
Standing in the shadow, standing in the shadow. Next to me.
You have gone your way ,and I know that I must stay.
But one day Ill find my way to you, you’re just a heartbeat away.
But a different time and place and day.
From where I am now ,just beyond the veil.
I know that I cant see you any more, standing on that far and distant shore.
But time will pass and we’ll see love is true.
When I’m standing in your shadow, standing in your shadow ,next to you.
Just one more time, lord one more time.
And if I could talk to you ,and you could talk to me.
Just one more time, Lord one more time.
I know that I cant see you any more, standing on that far and distant shore.
But time will pass and in the end you’ll be.
Standing in the shadow, standing in the shadow. Next to me.
You have gone your way ,and I know that I must stay.
But one day Ill find my way to you, you’re just a heartbeat away.
But a different time and place and day.
From where I am now ,just beyond the veil.
I know that I cant see you any more, standing on that far and distant shore.
But time will pass and we’ll see love is true.
When I’m standing in your shadow, standing in your shadow ,next to you.

Bio
In my teens I learnt 3 Chords on the guitar. Over 50 years later I have not managed many more and am, yet to master the art of strumming in rhythm whilst trying to sing.
I think it would be fait to say that I peaked to early and what talent I have is not timeless but time warped.

Comments:
Such a moving song and something many of us can connect to. The use of the shadow is beautiful as it casts shade and coolness.
If you want to elevate the song perhaps make some of the other lyrics a little more unusual as the story is clear but the imagery is quite obvious for a song about loss.
I really like it and was very moved by it.
