"Always"
by Francois Klark



Full Lyrics ▼

I’ve been playing hide and go seek
With a heart that longs to be
In the arms of another lover
I’ve been running from my shadow
Like a wayward arrow
As I try to find a way to you
Cause you are

Always in my mind
Always in my heart
Always the one that waits for me in my dreams
You are always the one I long for
Always the one I feel by my side even though you’re gone
Cause you are my always

I’m the tide, you’re my moon
You always pull me back to you
And I’ll lay my arms gently over your shoulders
And when morning breaks
And your reflection fades
How I long the hide with you among the fading stars
Cause you are

Always in my mind
Always in my heart
Always the one that waits for me in my dreams
You are always the one I long for
Always the one I feel by my side even though you’re gone
Cause you are

Always in my mind
Always in my heart
Always the one that waits for me in my dreams
You are always the one I long for
Always the one I feel by my side even though you’re gone
Cause you are

Always the one that stays by my side
Whenever I feel I must hide
You are always the one that makes my heart race
Faster than the speed of light
You are always the one that stays by my side
Whenever I feel I must hide
You are always the one that makes my heart race
Faster than the speed of light

Cause you are

Always in my mind
Always in my heart
Always the one that waits for me in my dreams
You are always the one I long for
Always the one I feel by my side even though you’re gone
Cause you are my always

Cause you are my always
Yes, you are my always

This is such a simple, beautiful song. Its uncomplicated lyrics and acoustic tune really make the artistry of the song stand out. I usually dislike acoustic songs and prefer the full production value that a studio can bring to a song, but it's songs like these that really make a strong case for the simplicity of some great lyrics and a catchy tune on a single instrument like a piano or a guitar.

I actually found this song on the Feel the Beat movie on Netflix which was... not a great movie... but my son loves to watch it and after enough times, the musical number set to this song started to grow on me. It's been on my playlists ever since.
