Now everyday I learn such things,
   as hard times come to stay;
I watch to see who stand by me,
   and those who walk away!

Although we've seen some tough times now,
   as each one's come and gone;
I realized this, you've always been,
   beside me all along!

Oh yes, you've seen both sides of me,
   the good side and the bad;
You've held me when life strikes me down,
   when broken heart and sad!

I know you've seen life push me 'round,
   at times down to the ground;
Yet as you reached your hand to me,
   such strength in you I found!

You've shown me love all through my life,
   you've stood so strong and bold;
You never left me once in life,
   you're always there to hold!

I'll try to return this love to you,
   you've shown me everyday;
I've seen the best example now,
   to love in such a way!

If someone asks, I'll tell 'em quick,
   your love has seen me through;
I've never known what true love was,
   until my heart found you!
