It's Always Been You

Since the first star split the blank
Split the silence, too
Since the first dawn of this Earth
Founded clothed in blue
Since the first bird song was sung

As through the air afloat
It's been you, it's always been you
It's always been you
Since the first thrust of the sea
Life stemmed upon the shore
Since the first breath filled these lungs
Left them wanting more

Since the first your lips met mine
Soft as morning dew
It's been you, it's always been you
It's always been you
Let me out of the darkness
Fed my heart on ancient light/love
Kept me close, kept me honest
I love you

Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Oh, how I love you
Since the first star split the black
The very light itself was moved
Since the first word could hear
One syllable and true

Since the first your eyes found mine
It was all at once I knew
It's been you, it's always been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
It's always been you
