Lyrics
No other face would take you off my mind You're so refined You're much too kind I have to warn you I'm never gonna set you free 'Cause I was born to Love you for eternity

Whenever you're away from me Wherever you go You're never far away from me I want you to know I only have to close my eyes dear And suddenly I'm where you are You better never stray 'Cause I'll never be far away

On every breeze I seem to hear your name My heart's aflame I feel the same I'd fall apart dear if you let the feelin' end Don't break a heart dear that nobody else could mend

Whenever you're away from me Wherever you go You're never far away from me I want you to know I only have to close my eyes dear And suddenly I'm where you are You better never stray 'Cause I'll never be far away
