[Verse 1]
Christy, I still see us there
Yauwe Moses side by side
Books in hand, worn shoes
Big dreams in a small room
You had that crying unnecessarily
And I would laugh too fast
Then we'd switch to stories
Till the afternoon ran past
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day felt new
Every mile we walked
You knew my quiet face
Before I had the words
[Chorus]
Christy, my friend, my friend
(Christy, my friend)
Christy, my friend, my friend
I hold those days so close
We tell our stories slow
We tell our stories slow
And that is how we grow
(We grow)
[Verse 2]
Now when the world gets loud
I reach for what is true
Your voice still lands on me
Like rain on a dry roof
We shared many moments
Small ones, bright and plain
A desk, a joke, a lesson
A name I still say again
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day felt new
Every mile we walked
You knew my quiet face
Before I had the words
[Chorus]
Christy, my friend, my friend
(Christy, my friend)
Christy, my friend, my friend
I hold those days so close
We tell our stories slow
We tell our stories slow
And that is how we grow
(We grow)
[Bridge]
If I drift too far
Call me back, my friend
I still keep your laughter
In the back of my mind
[Chorus]
Christy, my friend, my friend
(Christy, my friend)
Christy, my friend, my friend
I hold those days so close
We tell our stories slow
We tell our stories slow
And that is how we grow
(We grow)
