The Gift

Your eyes undo me every time
Something sacred softens mine
The way your hands fall to your sides
Like you’ve got nothing left to hide
And when you laugh, real and loud
My timid heart turns inside out

And I get to fall in love again
Every single day with you
I still can’t believe it’s true
That God somehow gave me you

I sit and read your letter slow
On the bank and watch the river flow
The water runs the way time moves
Bringing me back home to you
I’m not a saint, I stumble through
A better person because of you

And I get to fall in love again
Every single day with you
I still can’t believe it’s true
That God somehow gave me you

Can’t get it right, but I will try
To be a true friend at your side
Every promise, every scar
Led me right to where you are
I am with you through the cold
Even the broken parts you hold

I feel the thaw when you look my way
And I will choose you every day
