lyrics

Find You Near by marlene 1990

Still here after all these years
I wonder how it could be
Still here after all this time
through the winters of life
still find you near

I’m amazed we’re friends after so long
Could it be cause our understanding grows strong
Strong with time

Still here while others come and go
I wonder why it should be
Still here while others fail to see
that something inside the essence of me

I’m amazed we’re friends after so long
Could it be cause our understanding grows strong
Strong with time

Still here after all these years
I wonder how it could be
Still here after this all time
through the winters of life
I still find you near

Find you near

In honor of Martha Sauer Durey 1955-1998
