The Essence Of You

As I hear your voice
A thousand miles away
It surely brings to me
A smile upon my face

I've known you just a while
But I can see your smile
Even on the phone

And I can't help but feel
A part of me that's real
Can't wait 'til you get home

No I don't want to scare you
Or make you run away
For you are still my friend 
I hope until the end
No matter what I say
And yes it frightens me
To know that when I see you
My heart starts beating fast
I haven't got a clue
Of how to be with you
And make this feeling last

The essence of you
Is with me when you're not
The essence of you
Can never be forgotten

And though I've not been more
Than just a friend next door
I guess I'm trying to say 
That I would like the chance
To  carry on this dance
And make you want to stay

You're beauty is so rare
There's none that can compare
For it comes from within
It shows in all you do
The children that love you
A gift from God's beginnings

But you take all your time
To figure out this rhyme
And what It means to you

And I will wait right here
Just wanting to be near
For what you want to do 

The essence of you
Is with me when you're not
The essence of you
Can never be forgotten

And though I've not been more
Than just a friend next door
I guess I'm trying to say 
That I would like the chance
To  carry on this dance
And make you want to stay
Yes, I would like the chance
To  carry on this dance
And make you want to stay
