You Feel So Near Lyrics

Since you left, I’ve carried on

Like a melody without a song.

Wanting still to feel you close

Yet to be enough on my own.

You knew so much I didn’t know—

How to breathe, how to hope.

You put me at ease, helped me to row.

You believed in me and my unlikely boat.

I talk to you, and I know you hear,

‘cause sometimes you feel so near.

Like a breath, a sigh, a tear,

You feel so near, so near.

Tell me how to hold on while letting go,

Like water flows from melting snow.

Transform me here on this frozen ground.

Uncover me. Let me be found.

The tulip returns each spring to bloom

Reborn anew from winter’s tomb.

My love also opens to the sky,

To the sun, to the warmth, the butterfly.

I talk to you, and I know you hear,

‘Cause sometimes you feel so near.

Like a breath, a sigh, a tear,

You feel so near, so near.

Since you left, I’ve carried on,

A new melody in a familiar song.
