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
