All You'll Ever Be

A song I wrote for the guy who will always, always be a great friend of mine...

She broke up with you today

Another on a long, long list

Of girls

Who weren’t good enough for you

Anyway

 

It’s my shoulder that you cry on

Thank God that through your tears

You can’t see

That I’m crying too

 

Don’t need to worry about me

I know all the boundaries

I know that all you’ll ever be

Is just the man of my dreams

Just the man of my

Dreams

 

I broke up with him today

Just another on a long, long list

Of guys

Who weren’t good enough for you

Anyway

 

It’s your shoulder that I cry on

But only cause I can’t

Love him

Because he’ll never be…(you)

 

Don’t you worry about me

I know all the boundaries

I know all you’ll ever be

Is just the man of my dreams

Just the man of my dreams

 

She fell in love with you today

The second on a long, long list

Of girls

Who just couldn’t resist

And didn’t really want to

Anyway

 

I was crying on the inside

But today I try to smile

Through the pain

 

Don’t you worry about me

I know all the boundaries

I know all you’ll ever be

Is just the man of my dreams

 

Your parents glance down the pew at me

With looks that say

‘We were sure it would be you’

I glanced back and the tears that slid down my cheeks said

‘Me too, me too.’

 

But don’t worry about me

I know all the boundaries

I know all you’ll ever be

Is just the man of my dreams

Just the man of my…
