close behind you

I lie awake at night it goes on far too long
Somehow I’ve allowed things to go terribly wrong
Sometimes I lie there and wonder where I belong
I know your words by heart and I sing them like a song

You pull me close and tell me settle down
Everything goes quiet your voice barely makes a sound
My heart goes heavy and the tears they pour down
You take my hand and lead my feet to the ground

I follow close behind you
I’ll let you lead the way
If I stay close behind you
I’ll never lose my way
At times it’s hard to see you
But I know you’re always there
Cause to do this all alone
would be so unfair

I lie awake at night it goes on far too long
Sometimes I pray for tomorrow to bring a pleasant song
The air is cool now my feet are cold on the lawn
But I’m right behind you so nothing can go wrong

I know you’ll never leave me but there are times I feel alone
I’m out here lost and lonely wandering on my own
But you’ll always be there I'll never be alone
You'll always be there you'll guide me back home

I follow close behind you
I’ll let you lead the way
If I stay close behind you
I’ll never lose my way
At times it’s hard to see you
but I know you’re always there
cause to do this all alone
would be so unfair

2 - Scotty: Thank you. Yes, I wrote it a few days ago for my mom for her birthday. It started out as one thing, then turned completely into something else. I'm glad you liked it, thank you so much. (Comment this)

3 - I was thinking that, it really didn't sound like lyrics after I read it a couple of times.

Sometimes things that turn out different, can come to mean so much more. (Comment this)
