My Dear Friend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in quiet With that steady smile Set my wild heart Back in line awhile Tea on the table Rain on your coat You said one small thing And it stayed afloat [Pre-Chorus] I was all sharp edges You were all calm hands Never tried to catch me You just helped me stand Now I’m leaning closer Say you feel it too There’s a simple answer When I look at you [Chorus] Love you, my dear friend Love you, my dear friend Right here, right now I’m all in again Love you, my dear friend Love you, my dear friend If love needs a name It sounds like this, my friend [Verse 2] Late bus home Shoes tied with rain You saved me a seat In the middle lane Shared last fries Laughing through the cold You know my soft side Like a story told [Pre-Chorus] I was all locked doors You were the key Never pushed too hard You just looked at me Now the truth is simple Clean and shining through There’s a little forever When I’m near you [Chorus] Love you, my dear friend Love you, my dear friend Right here, right now I’m all in again Love you, my dear friend Love you, my dear friend If love needs a name It sounds like this, my friend [Bridge] Maybe it was there Hidden in plain sight In the way you stayed Every single night No big speech No grand parade Just your hand in mine And the fear they fade [Final Chorus] Love you, my dear friend Love you, my dear friend Say it back slow Let it land again Love you, my dear friend Love you, my dear friend If love needs a name It sounds like this, my friend
