every day i wake up expecting your mercies to fade anticipating your grace has gone away i keep hesitating before i open my eyes the nerves that i feel keep me believing that this is surreal that i m only dreaming the daylight s gonna steal your love away if i open my eyes but i ve got to give it a try i hold my breath and i count up to three and take a quick peek and there you are just smiling at me you re waiting to see the look on my face completely amazed that you re still the same yesterday and today and forever you never change gradually i ll be persuaded that you ll never leave you can t separate us and i m eternally loved unconditionally for reasons i can t explain you are more real than the fear that i m hiding and somehow you hear my heart without speaking and you made it very clear you will be with me to stay you re never going away you are never going away sun and the rain joy and the pain autumn winter spring and summer in the heat of the day or the cool of the night you re still the same you re holding my hand wherever i am you keep me here in wide eyed wonder and through it all you will remain you never change
