You were just a boy when we first met
Eyes all full of fear and wonderment
Though it took us all a while
We were able to coax that smile
‘Cause you were a boy looking for something more
You were just a boy when your girl was born
You took the whole world in your arms that blessed morn
But the joy was not enough
To see you through when things got tough
‘Cause you were a boy looking for something more
Sometimes love is just the thing
To make your marrow sing
But other times it’s just too great a thing to bear
Well I’ve been there too
And though I don’t believe you’ve found
That quiet sacred ground
I’ll keep an eye out for it just for you
You were just a boy when your world went dark
The wind that left you cold blew out your spark
And now it’s our turn to grieve
For the man I do believe
Simply grew tired of looking for something more
Sometimes love is just the thing
To make your marrow sing
But other times it’s just too great a thing to bear
Well I’ve been there too
And though I don’t believe you’ve found
That quiet sacred ground
I’ll keep an eye out for it just for you
