More Than A Friend
When you came to me in the light,
I knew I wouldn’t be afraid in the night.
I knew I wanted you to stay.
There is not much more I can say.
The world is dark and you are light.
Things that happen make me uptight.
They scare me and it won’t go away.
Maybe things will be different someday.
You calm me down and that is well.
You have a way to quiet the quell.
Darkness moves over the land.
You come close and hold my hand.
The angel of death makes its flight.
I ask you to hold me tight.
Hell breaks loose and all is moved.
Stand by me,—– I behoove.
Finally, light breaks upon the land.
I will smile,—– if I can.
You have brought me through.
I am truly indebted to you.
This world is full of sin.
There is no way I can win.
Just cling to you until the end.
You are so much more than a friend.
