i know i'd recognize your face

it's been so long

since you've been gone

i don't know where to begin this song

wherever you are

i hope it's not to far

for you to hear me

it's been so wild

lay next to me

cry please don't run

but i wouldn't fight or carry a gun

i went far away

to start a new life

if i had stayed there

you'd be my wife

and i know i'd recognize your face

your memory keeps haunting me

and i can't forget what time won't erase

you know it's hard for me to come back now

there's prison to face though the filing is done

where can i find you

daddy you have a son that's never seen you

he looks just like you

and i know i'd recognize your face

your memory keeps haunting me

and i can't forget what time won't erase

i've sent this letter so many times

it keeps coming back

no one here about that knew

are you still lingering back

well it's so hard to keep long

true love in winter

it's been so long

and i know i'd recognize your face

the season has come i can't let go

and i'd know your sweet smile any place

and i know i'd recognize your face

anyplace anytime you know i'm still in love with you

and i know i'd recognize your face
