Luke Wood If You See Him
[Verse 1]
Are You so near yet I can't see You?
The moon rose high and disappeared again
The vow always seemed to surround her
Whispering through the trees just like the wind
[Verse 2]
Rumors of His enduring absence
Fell down upon her fragile soul
Like snow on the coldest day of winter
But it couldn't quench the embers of hope
The box under the nightstand in her bedroom
Held letters to which she would often look
She faithfully searched throughout those pages
Lovesick for the Man who wrote the book
[Chorus]
If you see Him tonight would you tell Him that I'm still in love?
I know He will come back His promise is sure as the dawn
[Verse 3]
Some days her faith seems so brittle
Like bones in an old graveyard
The words of her beloved never left her
They burned just like fire in her heart
Many years have passed since she'd last seen Him
She was bent but never broken by the pain
Friends would say, "Dear girl, why are you waiting?"
Compelled by love she'd carry on again
She wandered through the streets of different cities
Anticipating steps of weary feet
The flicker of her candle kept on burnin'
She always kept her garments bright and clean
At times she would stop and talk about Him
To anyone who had a listening ear
Her love for Him diffused a lovely fragrance
The Ghost of her Beloved standing there
[Chorus]
If you see Him tonight would you tell Him that I'm still in love
I know He will come back His promise is sure as the dawn
If you see Him tonight would you tell Him that I'm still in love
I know He will come back His promise is sure as the dawn
