Lyrics
I promise this: I'll never take you for granted
Without a kiss I knew you're all that I wanted
You walked into the room and in a word you owned it
I couldn't move, I was locked into that moment
And from the stage it was like the heavens opened
I felt the world shiftin' gears into slow motion
You justified a dream I always carried with me
Just when I'd given up, your love swooped in to lift me up
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when this noisy world makes you feel small
I'll be there to carry you to safety
I was a seagull wand'rin' the lonely beaches
Now I'm an eagle soarin' to your upper reaches
Not very long ago you were a total stranger
Now suddenly you are real-life changer
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when it's cold and the snow starts to fall
I'll be there to carry you to safety
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when this noisy world makes you feel small
Don't be afraid when the waves get too tall
Or when it's cold and the snow starts to fall
I'll be there to carry you to safety
