Over You - Tony Joe White

I started young, a long time ago

My first taste of love, seven years old

I got in a fight and sent home from school

Over you

Over you

And down on through our teens

We stayed hand in hand

Sharing our dreams

We made some plans

I took you home to meet the folks

They made a big to-do

Over you

Over you

And it seemed like there was nothing in our way

Then it all began to change

You say it just a cloudy day

But to me it feels like rain

They hand out your time

Give you maybe, a year

Apologies are made

But I can no longer hear it

I’m looking for a miracle

A small patch of blue

Over you

Over you

They said I stay with you day and night

They said I prayed and never left your side

And went off the deep end in that white sterile room

Over you

Over you

And I will always remember, just before you said goodbye

When you pulled me close and whispered

«No matter where you go or whatever you do»

«You'll know I’ll be watching over you»

Over you

Over you
