You get me higher than the Vulcan
Way up high atop red mountain
Like the shoals of the Cahaba
Cut their course and keep me counting
Down the days 'til you're in my arms again

And you are softer than the cotton
Growing wild out in the fields
Back when we were unbegotten
Now this world is just a wheel
And it's stirring up butterflies inside of us again

And you sound just like a songbird
Singing to me softly
Drowning out the world and its neverending lonely
And just when we thought happiness was far away and gone
We're wrong again

And you are stronger than the iron from the heart of Birmingham
We have bound our hearts together
And you are half of who I am
And just when mine starts breaking
You're right there to save it once again

I love you so
My sweetest friend
I love you so
'Til we see the end
I love you so
My sweetest friend
I love you so
'Til we see the end
