Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sound of a piano, the smell of fresh coffee
The taste of homemade apple pie
The change of the season, the leaves coming and going
A day with no clouds in the sky
[Chorus]
There ain't no explaining the thunder and the rain
The reason that you had to leave
But I swear all the time, you're right there by my side
For you are ever with me
[Verse 2]
A bloom on the flower, a face in the moon
The red in the afternoon sun
A swing on a porch in the shade and the sun
Listening to frogs sing their song
[Chorus]
There ain't no explaining where the lightning does strike
Or the reason that you had to leave
But I swear all the time, you're right there by my side
For you are ever with me
[Chorus]
The river keeps rolling, the breeze it keeps blowing
And your spirit, no doubt it runs free
But I swear all the time, you're right there by my side
For you are ever with me
[Outro]
But I swear all the time
You're right there by my side
For you are ever with me
For you are ever with me
