You Are

“You Are” is one of mine, written for my best friend and the love of my life. I’ve posted this one before. This time I used my 6-string banjo.
As always, I really appreciate you listening.
You are the vast salty ocean - And I am lost at sea
The more of you I drink - The more of you I need
You are my dreams in deepest night - When I am fast asleep
As the nighttime draws you near - The more of you I’ll keep
You are the tune that’s in my head - That won’t go away
So your music fills me up - And in my mind you’ll stay
You are the force of gravity - That always holds me down
You are the one that keeps me here - Rooted to the ground
(BRIDGE) You are the air I need
You surround me night and day
I breathe you in - you fill me up
You always will I pray
You are the sunlight and the moon - And in my life you shine
My light, my warmth, my beacon - I am yours and you are mine
You are the clouds so full of rain - And I am thirsty ground
And when you let your blessings flow - I will nearly drown
