I miss our walks down by the lake, just gazing at the stars
Sharing meals and togetherness, no matter where we are
You’re so reliable and patient, you'd help anyone you see
With your funny jokes across the room that bring a smile to me
I never meant to hurt you, or make you feel alone
I never meant to make you feel abandoned on your own
ChorusI had to come down here for Mom, though funny she's now here for me
I was trying to find a job and place, to make it all come easily
For you to come and join me, or we could just leave town
As long as we're together, Patrick, I won't let you down
I love you with my entire heart, my body, and my soul
I'm trying to get things in order, but I need you to be whole
Verse 2I know it's gonna take a while before we meet again
I hope you know I want you as my lover and my friend
I worry about the other women trying to get close to you
Yeah, I admit I'm jealous, but I want you happy too
I understand you have a life, and choices you must weigh
I'd understand if you moved on, but God, I hope you stay
ChorusI had to come down here for Mom, though funny she's now here for me
I was trying to find a job and place, to make it all come easily
For you to come and join me, or we could just leave town
As long as we're together, Patrick, I won't let you down
I love you with my entire heart, my body, and my soul
I'm trying to get things in order, but I need you to be whole
BridgeI'm sorry if I keep distracting you from what you do
I'm just looking for the truth of us, and if we'll make it through
Am I doing the right thing? I just need to know your mind
We've volunteered and shared such dreams, we can't leave them behind
Final ChorusI had to come down here for Mom, though funny she's now here for me
I was trying to find a job and place, to make it all come easily
For you to come and join me, or we could just leave town
As long as we're together, Patrick, I won't let you down
I love you with my entire heart, my body, and my soul
I want the rest of my life with you, if you want to share this road
