Christopher James Carlile

I remember walking past you down the library aisles

We would share a little joke and get lost in our smiles

Just getting close to you, staring deep in your eyes

I could see a gentle soul, so caring and wise

You always know exactly how to care for me

You give me the kind of love that sets my spirit free

Christopher James Carlile

You took me by the hand and never left my side

When the heavy tears fall, you're the shoulder where I cry

You're the kindest gentleman that I have ever known

You keep me safe and warm, my safe place and my home

I'll be right here forever, my safe place and my home

You hold to what you were taught, you lift everybody up

Encouraging and helpful, pouring from an endless cup

When I'm feeling sad, you just hold me so tight

Making sure that I'm okay and everything's alright

Baby, I just gotta say you're one of the good ones

You're the shelter that I seek before the heavy rain comes

Christopher James Carlile

You took me by the hand and never left my side

When the heavy tears fall, you're the shoulder where I cry

You're the kindest gentleman that I have ever known

You keep me safe and warm, my safe place and my home

I'll be right here forever, my safe place and my home

You love me for me, and I love you for you

You made my whole life better with a heart so true

You're the rock I can lean on when the days get long

In your gentle, loving arms is where I belong

Christopher James Carlile

You took me by the hand and never left my side

When the heavy tears fall, you're the shoulder where I cry

You're the kindest gentleman that I have ever known

You keep me safe and warm, my safe place and my home

I'll be right here forever, my safe place and my home
