Next To You

Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)

Looking out my widow,
I see the cloud's float by,
I wonder what you are doing,
Deeply I sigh,

Wishing to stand next to you,
I can dream it so as I wish,
A smile caresses my lips,
And to you I blow a kiss,

Whispering softly is the wind,
Caring your name to me,
Knowing in my own heart,
It is you I wish to see,

Knowing with in my own heart,
We shall meet again,
After all my darling,
Our love had no sin,

Looking out my window,
Wishing to be next to you,
Whispering softly is the wind,
Come to me please do.
