It's Always Been You

Since the first star split the blank Split the silence, too Since the first dawn of this Earth Founded clothed in blue Since the first bird song was sung As through the air afloat It's been you, it's always been you It's always been you Since the first thrust of the sea Life stemmed upon the shore Since the first breath filled these lungs Left them wanting more Since the first your lips met mine Soft as morning dew It's been you, it's always been you It's always been you Let me out of the darkness Fed my heart on ancient light/love Kept me close, kept me honest I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you Since the first star split the black The very light itself was moved Since the first word could hear One syllable and true Since the first your eyes found mine It was all at once I knew It's been you, it's always been you It's always been you It's always been you It's always been you --- It's Always Been You - Ray LaMontagne
