I can be the one you let inside your heart,
For I will not leave you, I will not depart
I will hold you close to me as we watch the day go by,
I can stop that tear, that wells up in your eye,
I can pull that smile up from deep within your heart,
For I will not leave you, I will not depart.

I will be the one who’s there to hold your hand,
Who’s there to pick you up when you feel you cannot stand,
I will be the one who guards you through the night,
Until the sun comes again and we bathe in its warm light,
I will be the one to always make you smile,
When you have given up and life’s not worth the while,
And I will spend my dying breath whispering your name,
‘cause love is for the memories and life is just a game.
