"With someone who cares right here next to me"

It Was You

Lonely I thought that I wandered alone
My whiskers whitening through years of care
Out rambling straight into the great unknown

But now I can see you were always there
For all of the way for all of this time
By my side for the journey all along
Behind and before me leading the climb
You have kept me sane you have made me strong

To feel all alone in the universe
Is a hard thing and it could have been worse
I only wish now I had known as well
As you did all this time how I could be
So close to heaven and so far from hell
With someone who cares right here next to me

Until I noticed my dream coming true
I never even noticed: it was you
