"Over You" lyrics

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
