Close together, You and me

My love is great, my love is strong
And these tough times must not be wrong.
How could we suffer like we do
if what we felt as love weren't true?

Many miles do come between us
you're on mars and i'm on venus.
and time will roll til we can be
close together, you and me.

til then i'll smile and knwo the day
we'll come together and we'll stay.
i know the day i hold you close
will be the day i smile the most.

and when i lay me down to sleep
i know my heart is yours to keep.
i'll drift to sleep and then I'll dream
of you, me, a picnic, a stream.

so when you wish upon your star
know, too, i'm wishing from afar.
for time to fly so we can be
always together, you and me.
