Somewhere Near

Written by Robbie Smith

Somewhere far are the stars beyond all measure
Further yet are the secrets of forever
In the distance are the rainbows you might follow
Somewhere near I’m just here – here to love you

Somewhere far are the questions that you ponder
Amid the misty dreamscapes that you wander
But then dreams aren’t fulfilling they’re just hollow
Somewhere near I’m just here – here to love you

Somewhere far are the mysteries of the ages
And the wisdom and the teachings of the sages
Somewhere far – the pages of tomorrow
Somewhere near I’m just here – here to love you

Somewhere far are the highest of the mountains
And life-renewing legendary fountains;
Mighty empires that rise and fall and crumble
Somewhere near I’m just here – here to love you

Somewhere far…the universal splendor
Where celestial bodies dance and then surrender
Where satellites and suns and planets tumble
Somewhere near I’m just here – here to love you

As we get older we have less and less
Fewer dreams we’re living for
But I’m still holding on to one I confess…
The chance that I might love you more

Somewhere far – fresh paints upon the canvas
And the prophesies of God and Nostradamus
Yes, their lofty predictions they may touch you
But somewhere near I’m just here – here to love you

Somewhere far, the purpose you’ve been seeking
Ah but don’t miss this moment oh so fleeting
There is so much in living that you must do
But somewhere near I’m just here – here to love you

Somewhere near I’m just here…
Here to love you
