I Lean On You

 

 

No one ever said it would be easy 
And I don’t claim to have the answers 
To all the hidden truths 
I guess when hard times make me weak
I’ll just lean on you

I never dreamed I’d have this kind of love
So simply blind 
I never dreamed I’d hold you 
And whisper 
I’ll love you till the end of time

Sometimes I watch you sleep
While you’re so deep in the sublime
I see a smile spread across your face
As I kiss you softly goodnight
I close my eyes as I roll in bed beside you 
And I lean on you till moonlight gives way to day

When the world’s problems fall heavy on my shoulders 
My whole body seems to shake under the weight
I can’t contain the pain 
And I fear I don't have the strength to carry on
I lean on you.
