When I’m With You It Feels Like Home

When I’m With You It Feels Like Home


No matter how far away we roam
You’re at my side and in my heart
When I’m with you it feels like home

Mountain’s peaks or ocean’s foam
We are never all that far apart
No matter how far away we roam

Desert’s bare sand or field’s fertile loam
Whatever journeys we may chart
When I’m with you it feels like home

The sunrise dawn or the sunset gloam
From one trek’s end to the next one’s start
No matter how far away we roam

I know that beneath the sky’s great dome
The two of us will never part
When I’m with you it feels like home

If someone through my soul should comb
They’d find you are my choicest part
No matter how far away we roam
When I’m with you it feels like home

Thanks, Ryk. I am not certain I am happy with the last stanza, yet.
