A Good Man

If I never saw you once again

If suddenly you met your bitter end

I'm not sure I'd ever understand

But I could say I loved a good man



If I couldn't hold you anymore

Or leave the world to lie at our front door

And crawl inside this hiding place with you

I'm not sure I'd ever make it through



Oh your tender heart,

Taught me the hardest part that I could never learn

And everything you do promises I love you

If you ever slip out of my hands

I could say I loved a good man



Looking at your face across the room

Everything else fades but me and you

Love is not as simple as it seems

But I have learned to trust the space between



Oh your tender heart,

Taught me the hardest part that I could never learn

And everything you do promises I love you

If you ever slip out of my hands

I could say I loved a good man



When I look back on our years together

The only one I gave my whole heart to

I hope that we're still counting on forever like it's something new



Oh your tender heart,

Taught me the hardest part is having to let go

And everything you do promises I love you

If you ever slip out of my hands

I could say I held

I could say I knew

And I could say I loved a good man
