So Glad I Have You
Love's Guiding Light: Moors & McCumber's Ode to Lifelong Devotion
Lyrics
Behind vacant eyes
Observing emptiness or lack of expression in someone's eyes
In the subway lines
Amidst the train routes underground
I've seen lovers lost
Witnessed relationships lost or ended
I've seen troubled times
Experienced difficult and challenging periods
Lonely stories I've overheard
Heard tales of isolation and solitude from others
I couldn't change one word
Unable to alter or change those narratives
Felt like I was running out of time
Feeling pressured by limited time
Without a hand to hold
Without companionship or support
I had nowhere to go
Feeling directionless or lacking a destination
And I found you and you found me too
Discovering each other mutually
You turn the darkest skies to the brightest blues
Transforming difficult situations into positive ones
You give me confidence and a broader view
Providing assurance and a wider perspective
I wanna grow old with you
Desire to spend a lifetime together
You know, you lift me up when I've been knocked down
Support received during challenging times
I feel so much better when you're around
Feeling better and uplifted in the partner's presence
It's hard, but I know I must lose control
Accepting the difficulty of letting go of control
I'm so glad I have you
Expressing gratitude for having the partner
I'm so glad I have you
Reiteration of gratitude for the partner
As the years roll by it's you and I
Commitment to each other as time passes
Together in this crowded world
Staying together amidst a crowded world
Again we find ourselves alone
Feeling isolated again despite family growth
As the family we've raised has grown
Acknowledging the changes in family dynamics
There's nothing like space and time to remind
Realization prompted by distance and time
I found you and you found me, too
Recalling the mutual discovery
You turn the darkest skies to the brightest blue
Continuing to turn difficult situations positive
You gave me confidence and a broader view
Continued support and broadening of perspective
Now I'm growing old with you
Commitment to growing old together
You know you lift me up when I've been knocked down
Consistent support during tough times
I feel so much better when you're around
Feeling emotionally better in the partner's presence
It's hard but I know I must lose control
Acknowledging the challenge of relinquishing control
And when I lose control
Highlighting the difficulty faced upon losing control
I'm so glad I have you
Reiterating gratitude for the partner's presence
So glad I have you
Repetition of the chorus, expressing gratitude
So glad I have you
-I found you and you found me, too
-You turn the darkest skies to the brightest blue
-You gave me confidence and a broader view
-I'm growing old with you
-You know you lift me up when I've been knocked down
-I feel so much better when you're around
-It's hard but I know I must lose control
-I found you and you found me, too
-You turn the darkest skies to the brightest blue
-You gave me confidence and a broader view
-I'm growing old with you
-You know you lift me up when I've been knocked down
-I feel so much better when you're around
-It's hard but I know I must lose control
-Lose control
-I'm so glad I have you
-I'm so glad I have you
-So glad I have you
-So glad I have you
Final affirmation of gratitude for the partner
