Along you came, when I needed a friend.

Along you came, when I thought my loneliness

would never end.

 

You can't go; Nor can I.

Neither of us can bear

to make the other cry.

 

That’s okay,

I want you to stay.

I don't want to wake up

and not have you someday.

 

My world would fall apart.

You are the sole owner of my heart.

Before you came along,

life just drifted by.

 

I rushed towards tomorrow

through countless sorrows,

never knowing why.

Then along you came.

 

Along You Came
