If You Weren't Around

When I’m with you
Time slows down
All the words I try to speak
Get lost in the folds of your soft flannel gown.
Now I know myself,
But I don’t know who I’d be
If you weren’t around.
When the night closes in
There’s a soft wholesome sound.
Well, the crickets have songs to sing
And the wind--- she has stories to spread around.
Now I know this world,
But I don’t know what it would be
If you weren’t around.
There’s something so sweet
About the first time you kiss someone;
But time is a strong kind of wine
And I’ve grown drunk with you, body, soul and mind.
Now I know what love is…
But, I know what love is
Cause you stayed around.
