The Hero You See in Me

As I look back on the man I've been to you

At times insensitive, at times untrue.

Not always the tower of strength

I wished I could be,

No, just a fool undeserving of the strong

and silent love You've given me.

Just let me stand by you

And walk with you in this your darkest hour

When your only hope deserts you

Let me be the one you turn to

Give me the chance to be

The hero you see in me

Just let me stand by you.

Last night I heard you praying in the dark.

I kept my eyes closed as you broke my heart.

Then I heard you raise your voice

to heaven above.

How I fought back the tears, as you

whispered in my ear,Goodbye my love'.

Just let me stand by you

And walk with you in this your darkest hour

Take my hand and hold me closer

Lay your cross upon my shoulder

And give me the chance to be

The hero you see in me

Just let me stand by you.
