Constant Companion

Ooh

You ran with me down the hill
Past the raspberry bushes and the mill creek
And the butterflies to the dirt path
That goes around the pond

Where turtles sometimes would sun themselves
In a glossy row on a log
In the water, you were in heaven
With a stick, you found

I keep your mem'ry
I close my eyes and see
My constant companion
You will always be with me

You understood the important things
Liked to stop and smell every single leaf
The timeless shape of the moment
You were livin' in

As if every meal were the last meal
Every kiss is the last kiss
Rollin' on your back in the grass
You were happiness

I keep your mem'ry (your memory)
I close my eyes and see (and see)
My constant companion
You will always be with me

I wake up from dreamin' of you again
There's a heavy silence in the air
Still, I turn and think that you will be there

I have cried in every room
The breaths, the touch, the sounds of you
Have melted away and the empty space
Is still so new

Never was there ever anybody
Who found it so easy to love me
The light in every mornin' and day and night
It was you

I keep your mem'ry
I close my eyes and see
My constant companion
You will always be with me (you will always be)

My dear, sweet baby
I keep your mem'ry
I close my eyes and see
My constant companion
You will always be with me

(Mm-hmm)
(Mm-mm)
You will always be with me
