You were there before me And what a pair we eventually would be My older blood, you were made in God's hand And I've learnt so much, could you even understand That you were my guiding light in our early days You'd help me to sleep at night when I was afraid Then you'd be there by my side and I never say enough That I love you When we'd fight it would be Over right before I could say sorry And though you're far from where home used to be I will always go where you are if you need Because you were my guiding light when I tried to sing You'd teach me to harmonize and with everything you'd Be there to fight my fight and I never say enough That I love you You were there before me And I'm so thankful you gave your love to me
