Lyrics
Throughout the day
I make my way to town and back again
I see your eyes, your toothy grin
Your dappled hair and dimpled chin
You're with me today
In a way you don't know, you're with me
You're with me today
In a way you don't know
How can you know what you mean to me
At noon or one
I take a break and wish that you were here
A few more hours must pass and then
I'll be back home and you'll be near
You're with me today
In a way you don't know, you're with me
You're with me today
In a way you don't know
How can you know what you mean to me
I wonder how it must feel to be
Left behind at the start of the day
I wonder whether you think of me
But your face at the door says this to me
You're with me today
In a way you don't know, you're with me
You're with me today
In a way you don't know
How can you know what you mean to me
