It Was Only

It was only the sound of your voice calling to me like a long lost friend,

Lifting my heart up to make the right choice. It was only the sound of your voice.

It was only the touch of your hand when no one would look in my eyes,

Holding me closely like you understand. It was only the touch of your hand.

Living in shame. I needed someone and you came from out of the blue.

I’ve been to blame for all that I’ve done but I feel no judgement from you.

It was only the love that you gave. Reminded me just who I am.

Treating me like someone worth being saved. It was only the love that you gave.

Dancing on a tightrope between heaven and hell. You helped me walk straight and true.

And each time stumbled I would’ve fell if I hadn’t been leaning on you.

It was only being my friend that helped me to stand straight and tall.

Showing me even the dark days must end. It was only being my friend.
