Verse 2:

 My love
 Whenever I was insecure
 You built me up and made me sure
 You gave my pride back to me

 Precious friend
 With you I'll always have a friend
 You're someone who I can depend
 To walk a path that sometimes bends

 Without you
 Life has no meaning or rhyme
 Like notes to a song out of time
 How can I repay
 You for having faith in me
