When you needed a garden
I dug into the earth and planted you flowers
And when I needed to talk about my day
You opened up your heart and you listened for hours
And I never cared for a moment
I was happy to be with you and give
I just thought we'd have forever...
Forever to live
And when you needed to unwind in Spring
I painted you that old white swing
And when you needed to mourn you past
I wanted to hold you and let my love last
And I never cared for a moment
I was happy to be with you and give
I just thought we'd have forever...
Forever to live
And when we needed each other in the night
We collapsed into the sheets, in dark beyond the light
It was more than we could understand...
And I never cared for a moment
I was happy to be with you and give
I just thought we'd have forever...
Forever to live
