You First Loved Me

The world has taken me from you Lured me away by the beauty of a dream But I am standing here now To search no more Because you first loved me Your memory dimmed in the distance But there was always the voice you taught to sing Calling me home to my heart still belongs To where you first loved me Angels have stood Tirelessly by my side But now they're yours And I can feel them fly In the stillness of my silent prayer I will place you in their care tonight Tonight And I will scatter the roses Unto the snow where forever you will sleep And you will know why I brought them here to you Because you first loved Because you first loved me And I am standing here now In grateful tears Because you loved me First loved me
