Lyrics

When I walk into a room and everybody laughs at me
I'll be satisfied to know you knew the better half of me
And when I have to play the fool and no one even knows my name
I'll be satisfied to know you'll always love me just the same

When my name is just a joke and everybody treats me cruel
I'll be satisfied to know I only saved myself for you
And when I cannot find a friend and I feel like I could cry
I will count on you to turn your head and never pass me by

And when the clock of life has ticked away
I'll have said the things that I came to say
And when the world has groaned its final groan
You'll be satisfied to find me waiting in heaven all alone

When the light in my eyes fades away and there's nothing left to save
I'll be satisfied to know that you will sweep away my grave
And if I find you in the nighttime all alone inside my bed
I will tell the story of your love to the lonely and to the dead

And when the clock of life has ticked away
I'll have said the things that I came to say
And when the world has groaned its final groan
You'll be satisfied to find me waiting in heaven all alone

When I walk into a room and everybody laughs at me
I'll be satisfied to know you knew the better half of me
And when I cannot find a friend, Lord I feel like I could die
I will count on you to turn your head and never pass me by

And when the clock of life has ticked away
You will be my wife ten thousand days
And when the world has groaned its final groan
You'll be satisfied to find me waiting in heaven all alone
