You were there when I was falling You were there when I fell in love You were there when I was thinking through All those things I was thinking of You were always right beside me Never out of sight You turned my never evers into Maybe I just mights Your pearly gates fly open when I bow my head and pray My thunder turns to lightning, you rain sunshine on my day When that melody’s in me, I can hear your choir sing When my fingers find your strings When I'm left all by my lonesome You know just how I feel And when I'm down you come around My corner on two wheels Every time I tell the truth, you catch me in a lie And every time I try to run, you just won’t let me hide Your pearly gates fly open when I bow my head and pray My thunder turns to lightning, you rain sunshine on my day When that melody’s in me, I can hear your choir sing— When my fingers find your strings You’re the sunrise in my mornin’ You’re the warm wind through the night You dance me through my darkness And you lead me to the light You answer all my questions And you finish what I start And when I'm at a loss for words You find them in my heart I hold you, oh, so carefully I handle you with care Oh, I never leave without you I just take you everywhere We both know I'm less without you, we both know it’s plain to see I ain’t holding you, my friend, it’s you who’s holding me Your pearly gates fly open when I bow my head and pray My thunder turns to lightning, you rain sunshine on my day When that melody’s in me, I can hear your choir sing When my fingers find your strings
