Gatekeeper
Kimberly Hales Kime
Ed Swartz

When it came to love
and happily ever after
my cynical side stood in the way
and when it came to trust
I was afraid to surrender
guarding the key to a jaded lonely heart’s gate

Pre-chorus
like tiny shards of glass,
pain was scattered on my path
and every step I took forward drew blood

Chorus
'til you whispered a thousand "I love you's"
my defenses began to crumble and fall away
but your faith in me allowed me to let you in
you never gave up or lost your way to this gatekeeper


When you came along
You gave me hope and affection
though at times, I resisted, you still stayed
and when you hold me close
I’m a hopeless romantic
And something inside me believes what you say

Pre-chorus
like tiny shards of glass,
pain was scattered on my path
and every step I took forward drew blood

Chorus 2
‘til you whispered a thousand I love yous
my defenses began to crumble and fall away
YES, your faith in me, allowed me to let you in
you never gave up or lost your way to this gatekeeper

Chorus with lift
AND you whispered a thousand I love yous
my defenses began to crumble and fall away
YES, your faith in me, allowed me to let you in
you never gave up or lost your way to this gatekeeper
