Ever Yours

© Anne Sumner 2016

If you ever need me I'll be here to take the load
There's always been a part of me that's watched you walking home
And if you ever want to we can talk about it all
My door is always open and my heart is ever yours
Ever yours

I said a thousand words, meant none of them at all
Turned up speechless at your door
When my heart is breaking you're the one I call
My single point of comfort and my shelter from the storm
And here we go in time
How long does it take to learn
The things we long for are the ones we cannot earn?
And all these feelings past
Never knowing how to let love through
'Til there was you, saying

If you ever need me I'll be here to take the load
There's always been a part of me that's watched you walking home
And if you ever want to we can talk about it all
My door is always open and my heart is ever yours
Ever yours

It seems a little late to learn so much of love
Never knew how lost I was
I wanna help but never mention it because
I've always been the small one in the symmetry of us
And if it lies ahead, the chance that I'll be waiting for
A day you'll need my love the way I've needed yours
And I won't be afraid, to tell you what you need to know
To let it go
You know that

If you ever need me I'll be here to take the load
There's always been a part of me that's watched you walking home
And if you ever want to we can talk about it all
My door is always open and my heart is ever yours
Ever yours

And here we go in time
How long does it take to learn
The things we long for are the ones we cannot earn?
And all these feelings past
Never knowing how to let love through
'Til there was you, saying

If you ever need me I'll be here to take the load
There's always been a part of me that's watched you walking home
And if you ever want to we can talk about it all
My door is always open and my heart is ever yours
Ever yours
