Saul

December seventeenth, two-thousand and twenty

My twenty-third birthday, when the crowd thinned out

We went back to my house, just you and me

Drinking beer on my bed, laughing out loud

You brushed a stray hair right out of my eyes

Said, "You're so beautiful," and caught me by surprise

Saul, that was the second my heart just knew

I'd spend the rest of my life loving you

You were my person, my best friend, my home

The safest place that I have ever known

With a kiss on my forehead when the skies turned gray

You'd whisper, "Everything's gonna be okay"

You showed me a love people spend a lifetime searching for

I'll miss you every single second, Saul, forevermore

Now I look at our little girl and I just see you

She is pure sunshine, shining right through

She's got so much of her daddy in her smile

Making the heavy days feel worth the while

We had some difficult parts of our story, it's true

But my favorite chapter will always be you

'Cause you were my person, my best friend, my home

The safest place that I have ever known

With a kiss on my forehead when the skies turned gray

You'd whisper, "Everything's gonna be okay"

You showed me a love people spend a lifetime searching for

I'll miss you every single second, Saul, forevermore

I carry your memory in all that I do

But I wish you could see yourself the way I saw you

If you could have loved yourself the way I loved you

It would have been enough to save you, pull you through

But I'm forever grateful for the gift of your light

Even though I have to miss you day and night

You were my person, my best friend, my home

The safest place that I have ever known

With a kiss on my forehead when the skies turn gray

I can still hear you say, "Everything's gonna be okay"

You showed me a love people spend a lifetime searching for

I'll miss you every single second, Saul...

Until I find my way back home to you
