I place nothing above you
Songbirds sing sweetly in my ears
But you fly higher
Clouds grow and form shapes
But the form that shapes in my mind is your face
The moon is out of reach
But you are a light that shines brighter in my night
The sun can rise and set over me a million times
And the stars beyond
I place nothing above you
Because I love you

I place nothing above you
Not hope or joy or love or life
I would eat your pain
Let your cancer spread through me
And destroy me completely
Let your sorrow become tears I must shed
Let your darkness swallow me whole
I take a misstep and lose my way a thousand times
But I'm found again if you find me
I place nothing above you
Because I love you
