Eric

Dimming the lights, picturing your handsome face

Wishing you were right here in this empty space

I miss the simple nights, just relaxing at home

Or going out to eat, just the two of us alone

You're my free spirit, wild and true

But so gentle and caring in all that you do

Oh, Eric, the miles might keep us apart

But they can't touch the kindness you poured in my heart

Every morning I wake, every evening that fades

I just love you more, baby, day after day

We might be separated by the time and the space

But nothing could ever take away your place

I close my eyes, we're back at the card table

Talking and laughing as long as we're able

You deal out the hands with that look in your eye

You always encourage me, you help me to fly

Even from a distance, I feel your embrace

The sweetest of memories that time can't erase

Oh, Eric, the miles might keep us apart

But they can't touch the kindness you poured in my heart

Every morning I wake, every evening that fades

I just love you more, baby, day after day

We might be separated by the time and the space

But nothing could ever take away your place

You wander the world with a soul so free

But somehow your love always travels to me

You're the calm in my storm, the strength that I need

I'm holding on tight to the life that we lead

Just waiting for the day I can walk through the door

And show you the ways that I love you much more

Oh, Eric, the miles might keep us apart

But they can't touch the kindness you poured in my heart

Every morning I wake, every evening that fades

I just love you more, baby, day after day

Yeah, we might be separated by the time and the space

But nothing could ever take away your place
