Every Heartbeat

Every heartbeat
There's your name 
Next to me will always be your seat
If you leave I'll still be the same
Another I'll soon meet
But they won't be like you
So passionate
So true
So kind
So gentle
One like you again I'll never find
If you disappear I won't go mentle

Because every heartbeat
Has your name
So sweet to the sound
Even though your side of the bed will remain neat
I'll always remember someone special I found
I can beat lifes game
Of heartbreaks
Midnight tears
Not saying your name
Of heartaches
Or break up fears

Even though I can no longer stare into your eyes
I can still go on with my day
I will still have blue skies
I'll still be strong 
Enough to get by
Even though I don't have you 
Nothing will go wrong
My spirit will still soar high
