00:14I don't remember when we met, but you were there before my name
00:21A quiet shade beside my breath
00:26Two eyes that knew me just the same
00:29You stayed awake when I would cry
00:32Curled close you learned my fears
00:38You watched the world through older eyes
00:42And walked with me through years
00:48They say I grew, they say I changed
00:54But you were always near
01:00Like you were sent to guard my days and keep me here
01:12We ran where the tall grass bends Where the sky had no end
01:23I never had to look behind I knew you'd find me every time
01:35If I was lost, you were my way If I was weak, you stayed
01:46I learned what love was meant to be By how you stayed with me
02:00You raised my shadow down the road Paws flying fearless fast
02:07Laughing like we've never grown Like nothing good could ever pass
02:16You waited by the door each day Before I turned the key
02:24Like every mile I went away Pulled you back to me
02:34We ran where the tall grass bends Where time was just pretend
02:45I never had to say your name I never had to say your name
02:51You always came the same When I was slow, you were my brave
03:04When nights were long, you stayed I learned what home was meant to be
03:13By how you watched over me Then the mornings came too soon
03:27And the runs were getting slow I started waiting there for you
03:37Like you once did long ago You rested your head beside my head
03:51Like nothing had to change Like love would always understand
