From Here To Hereafter

Jim Peterik


I heard a whisper
The first time that I held your hand
I saw the future
But I couldn't let you know

It may have frightened you
Changed the course of destiny
I chose to walk the patient path
And let your heart unfold

And I will love you
Sure as stars fill the heavens above you
And I will hold you and keep you and dream you
As long as we both shall live

But all of the rapture
May take more than one lifetime to capture
From the tears to the laughter
From here to hereafter

I felt I know you
The moment that I heard your voice
So warm and familiar
It touched my very soul

And when I kissed your lips
I floated out of space and time
Your universe became my world
Your heart became my home

And I will love you
Sure as stars fill the heavens above you
And I will hold you and keep you and dream you
As long as we both shall live

But all of the rapture
May take more than one lifetime to capture
From the tears to the laughter
From here to hereafter

We'll fly 'cross all boundaries of time
As one angel we'll fly
Through this world and beyond
Tell me why
(I see the light in your eyes)

Even talk of good-bye
(The fire that keeps me alive)
When love never dies
And our spirit lives on

Yes, I will love you
Sure as stars fill the heavens above you
And I will hold you and keep you and dream you
As long as we both shall live

But all of the rapture
May take more than one lifetime to capture
From the tears to the laughter
From here to hereafter

What am I feeling?
Could I be dreaming?
My love will follow you
From here to hereafter
