with each kind word you say.
Lighting up the darkness,
when I feel I've lost my way.
Your love is a devotion,
that you pour upon my heart.
No matter what the reason,
or the distance we're apart.
I know that you will be there,
on the very day I die.
Holding back the tears,
that will form there in your eyes.
But before that day ever comes,
in words, I want here shown.
That you in all your kindness,
was the greatest friend I've known.
