Christopher

I still remember how it all began

You had a confidence I didn't understand

With that handsome smile and an easy way

You looked at me and said I'd be your girl one day

I laughed it off, but you held your ground

Now you're the brightest thing I've ever found

Christopher, you pull me to the light

With an uplifting spirit that makes it all alright

When the world gets heavy and the shadows fall

You're the one who answers every single call

You keep me safe, you keep me close

In the shallows, where the water flows

You give your everything from dawn to dusk

A steady, hard worker built on love and trust

But even when the long day takes its toll

Your sense of humor always feeds my soul

You pull a perfect joke out of the blue

And suddenly I'm smiling, looking at you

Christopher, you pull me to the light

With an uplifting spirit that makes it all alright

When the world gets heavy and the shadows fall

You're the one who answers every single call

You keep me safe, you keep me close

In the shallows, where the water flows

Outgoing heart, you draw the whole room near

But I'm the lucky one who gets to hold you here

You saw us coming before I even knew

And now my favorite place is next to you

Oh, Christopher, you pull me to the light

With an uplifting spirit that makes it all alright

When the world gets heavy and the shadows fall

You're the one who answers every single call

You keep me safe, you keep me close

In the shallows, where the water flows

Yeah, in the shallows, where our love grows
