FFH Album: Have I Ever Told You Track: Watching Over Me
Watching Over Me Lyrics
"I wrote this song while on a visit to PA last summer. I was sitting on my mom's back porch just strumming the chords and the melody just sort of came out. Jennifer and my mom were in the yard and overheard me singing. When we came inside they were humming the melody. I finished it a few weeks later and played it for Brian and Mike. They loved it so we decided to put it on the record. When it came time to record some one suggested that we do something a little different and use a piano as the main instrument instead of the acoustic guitar that we normally use. We liked the way it turned out so much that we decided to make it our first single."
Where could I run, where could I hide Where could I go where You are not Where could I be, where You don't see All of these demons chasing me What kind of sin could I find myself in Where You wouldn't stop The world from spinning 'round and 'round When it seems like I am upside down But in Your comfort I have found A safe place to fall
And I'll be alright Safe inside Stayin' alive As long as You are watching over me
Where could I go where I don't know All of the comfort You bestow Where could I fall, where could I land Where I'm not resting in Your hand How could I stray too far away Where You won't leave the ninety-nine To come and bring me back And put me on Your shoulders and Carry me around Your neck Until it's safe to walk
And I will be fine 'Cause You are by my side And I'll be ok 'Cause You're with me every day This one thing is sure I could never, ever ask for more
And I'll be alright Safe inside Stayin' alive As long as You are watching over me
