ROB

I know I build these walls around my chest

And keep the things I feel so unexpressed

But Rob, I see your kind and patient heart

Meeting me with grace before I start

You never push, you never make demands

Just reach across and hold my guarded hands

I know I don't always say the words out loud

I know my feelings sometimes hide behind a cloud

I know I don't always show it, but I care

And every single day I thank God you're there

I need you to know the depth of how I care

Even when the words are gone

You're my quiet, steady dawn

It's in the secret glance across the room

That inside joke that breaks the heaviest gloom

You always know the things nobody knows

And tease a sudden smile until it shows

Your humor is a healing kind of light

Making all my darkest corners bright

I know I don't always say the words out loud

I know my feelings sometimes hide behind a cloud

I know I don't always show it, but I care

And every single day I thank God you're there

I need you to know the depth of how I care

Even when the words are gone

You're my quiet, steady dawn

So when I get too quiet, when I pull away

Don't doubt the love I carry every day

You're the kindest man that I have ever known

Rob, with you my guarded heart is home

I know I don't always say the words out loud

I know my feelings sometimes hide behind a cloud

I know I don't always show it, but I care

Every single day I thank God you're there

Oh Rob, I need you to know how much I care

Even when the words are gone

You're my quiet, steady dawn

My quiet, steady dawn
