I Won't Crumble with You If You Fall

I will wake in the morning if you call

And I'll stand beside you as long as I can

I will hold back the evening of your sun

But I won't crumble with you if you fall

I will shadow the heat of your day

And I'll drink from the sweat of your brow

I will walk to the tune of your song

But I won't crumble with you if you fall

Come walk with me and hold to my hand

Touch me, let me know I am here by myself

Stretch my night dreams into my day

Stop short of falling apart if I go down

I'll wake in the morning if you call

And I'll stand beside you as long as I can

I will hold back the evening of your sun

But I won't crumble with you if you fall
