You walked into my life without a sound
Like sudden light on broken ground
I’ve never seen a soul so bright
So calm, so warm, so wrapped in light
Am I awake or still asleep?
Is this a lie my heart must keep?
If this is just a fragile dream
Don’t wake me up, don’t pull the seam
And if this world is real and true
Then hear the vow I make to you
I’ll stand where shadows dare to stay
I’ll guard your nights, I’ll guard your days
If this is a dream, let it never end
Let me stay lost where our worlds bend
If this is real, then hear me swear
I’ll protect you with my life, I swear
I don’t know how much pain you’ve known
But still your heart is soft as snow
How many wounds beneath that grace?
How many storms did you embrace?
And still you move like gentle air
Like something holy walking there
I won’t touch what you don’t allow
I won’t cross lines, this is my vow
For you I’ll cast my wants aside
Throw every hunger to the tide
I don’t need desire to feel whole
Not when your smile fills my soul
If loving you means less of me
I’ll gladly fade, I’ll gladly bleed
If this is a dream, I choose to stay
Lost in the light you cast my way
If this is real, then let it be
My reason, my eternity
I’ll make you happy, come what may
With every breath, with every day
Dream or truth…
Either way
My life is yours to guard
