[00:00.00]~
[00:20.63]I wasn't ready when you came
[00:22.80]And now that I feel you pull away
[00:25.60]I'm not ready to let you leave so soon
[00:30.64]Your shoulders have been growing strong
[00:33.02]And the heart within you beats for love
[00:35.72]Of God and man, and still I want to hold you
[00:40.01]I will stand by in case you need reminding
[00:49.65]I'll leave the porch light always on for you
[01:00.03]And when you need me, you'll know where to find me
[01:09.73]You can't make me love you any less,
[01:13.47]Love you anymore than I do
[01:17.25]~
[01:26.16]I see you sleeping like a child
[01:28.85]But the babe's been gone for a little while
[01:31.10]And I'm still standing watch over your dreams
[01:35.90]I worry that you'll take the lie
[01:38.38]That tastes like truth without the bite
[01:40.90]That you'll believe that love is something easy
[01:45.69]I will stand by in case you need reminding
[01:55.23]I'll leave the porch light always on for you
[02:05.37]And when you need me, you'll know where to find me
[02:15.08]You can't make me love you any less,
[02:19.13]Love you anymore than I do
[02:22.89]~
[02:25.63]So run into the lapping waves
[02:35.58]I know what is good may not always be safe
[02:45.56]And it isn't I who shelters you anyway
[02:55.64]You were never mine to keep,
[02:58.83]but to carry for a few days
[03:02.70]~
[03:21.67]I see you sleeping like a child
[03:24.88]But the babe's been gone for a little while
[03:27.68]And I'm still standing watch over your dreams
[03:37.50]
