When You're Not Near Me
This song is on Dan Fogelberg's 2003 album "Full Circle" - I have this CD
Dan Fogelberg was married to his wife Jean Fogelberg from 2002 until his death in 2007 and he wrote this song about her
This is a picture of Dan and Jean
When you’re not near me
The time don’t seem to move as easy
When you’re not near me
The sun don’t seem to feel the same
The days don’t shine as brightly
And the nights don’t taste as sweet
And this soul of mine feels
Lost and incomplete
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
I make the sound of one hand clapping
When you’re not near me
I leave no footprints in the sand
And I can find no solace
In the lonely silver sea
I’m only half as strong and half as free
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
Don’t be long my love
Oh, don’t be long my love
It won’t be long until
I hold you in my arms again
When you’re not near me
There is no laughter in my spirit
When you’re not near me
There is no spirit in my laugh
You are like a magnet to that iron part in me
And this longing never seems to let me be
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
