Stood With You

I’ve stood with you on the ocean, enjoying the tranquil sounds of the sea.
I’ve stood with you in a forest, watching the sun set in the fall.
I’ve stood with you in the desert, against the winds of the strongest sandstorm.
And even though wherever I may stand with you is in my dreams, They are my dreams
and in them you are mine too.
