With Me Now

standing in the driveway
looking at the stars
feeling arms around me
wishing they were yours

knowing in my heart
this man loves me true
I still can't help but wonder
why can't he be you

but still he loves me
knowing this
he holds me tight
and on my cheek I feel a kiss

again I dream it's you
but I know now you are gone
forever, never more
yet in my heart my love lives on

you loved your job
and I knew how much
but why did it always
take you away so much

now I think
I understand
you were a cop
protector of this land
