Constant
Language: English 
Choose for Diff
All my life people have come and gone
But you were the one who tagged along
For the ride that my life has been
You stood by my side
When I felt like giving up and giving in
 
Every day my world is changing
But you were there through its rearranging
And if every piece should come undone
You’d be on your knees
Helping me pick up every single one
 
Chorus 1
In your life you may find one or two
Hold them close because they are so few
And I’m just thankful that mine was you
Because in this life, you were my only constant
 
Verse 2
Though my surroundings may fade away,
What I’ve found in you is here to stay
Through all the smiles and tears I’ll shed
And through all I’ll do
And all the words I will have said
 
Chorus 2
In your life you may find one or two
Hold them close because they are so few
And I’m just thankful that mine was you
Because in this life, you were my only constant
 
Bridge
As my world changes on,
I feel alone
I didn’t know that
My constant was right there all along
Simply waiting for me to come home
 
Final Chorus 2
All my life I have searched hard for you
And I had failed more than a  time or two
But now I’m thankful for the change I went through
Trying to find one single constant
 
Tag
And in my life, you were my only constant
