What You Do

I remember I was falling,
And I hoped that you would catch me,
But I never really knew,
What you could do.

It's amazing and apalling,
I was scared you didn't match me,
But the mirror of my soul,
Has made me whole.

And the tears will come as sure as Autumn rain,
That much is true,
But I know that some day you will raise me up again,
It's what you do.

When we try to find perfection,
We can fail to see the good,
And we throw away our best,
With all the rest.

It's a powerful connection,
And it binds us as it should,
When we contemplate the cost,
Of all we lost.

And the tears will come as sure as Autumn rain,
That much is true,
But I know that some day you will raise me up again,
It's what you do.

It's the pain and it's the pleasure,
It's a song that doesn't rhyme,
It's the things that we don't say,
It's every day.

So we walk a path together,
Though we rarely step in time,
And the one thing I hold true,
Is I love you.

And the tears will come as sure as Autumn rain,
That much is true,
But I know that some day I will raise you up again,
It's what I do.
