YOUR NAME
8th Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle of the night
Something gave you a fright
I will chase it all away
Want to see that smile
Hear you talk for a while
All that's running through your mind
I'm gonna be there for you
Help you tie your shoes
'Cuz to me your name is love
I'm gonna fight for you
Tread in the night for you
'Cuz to me your name is love
Stand so tall
In a world so small
Running games down the hall
I will fly and sail away with you
Your sayin' look at me now
Grown so big somehow
Your dreams soar to the clouds
I will help them all come true
I'm gonna be there for you
Help you tie your shoes
'Cuz to me your name is love
I'm gonna fight for you
Tread in the night for you
'Cuz to me your name is love
