I was listening to the radio this morning on my way to work and this song came on. I've heard the song several times and I like it a lot but today I realized that it reminds me of my sister. I'm the oldest of 7 children. When one of my sisters was 20, she was high on cocaine and died from an overdose of perscription antidepressents. It has been three years since her death and I still cry frequently about it. She had been with the same boyfriend for several years, he was close to our family, and had a very hard time with her death. When I really listened to this songs lyrics this morning I thought of him.

Here Without You

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me.

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me
