Runner

She's brighter than the sun and yet

She's always out of sight.

She circles my life like the moon.

She'd warm the darkest night.

I don't know who she is when I'm gone,

Or ask this spell I'm under,

But she's all smiles when I'm here.

I love my little runner.

She is the kind of girl

Who leads my heart around in circles,

With long hair and eyes so deep blue

They nearly turn to purple.

I'd do her a rank injustice

To say she's just a stunner.

I love her 'cause God broke the mold

Once he had made my runner.

She's brighter than the sun and yet

She's always out of sight.

She circles my life like the moon.

She'd warm the darkest night.

I don't know who she is when I'm gone,

Or ask this spell I'm under,

But she's all smiles when I'm here.

I love my little runner.

She leads me through the woods

And off the path and over hurdles.

She always wears her faith

Like it's an armor-plated girdle.

I've been chasing her since spring

Was out of earshot from the summer,

And I am breathless with exertion,

But I still love my little runner.

She's brighter than the sun and yet

She's always out of sight.

She circles my life like the moon.

She'd warm the darkest night.

I don't know who she is when I'm gone,

Or ask this spell I'm under,

But she's all smiles when I'm here.

I love my little runner.

I don't know what I did to earn

This endless, weary race.

I don't know how I earned the right

To glimpse her smiling face.

She doesn't want a steady date.

She thinks these games are funner.

I disagree with every word

But I still love my runner.

She's brighter than the sun and yet

She's always out of sight.

She circles my life like the moon.

She'd warm the darkest night.

I don't know who she is when I'm gone,

Or ask this spell I'm under,

But she's all smiles when I'm here.

I love my little runner.
