Story Behind The Song
This was inspired by the feeling of my supposed best friend dropping me like a hot potato and the counter feeling to that of what my ever-loyal wife means to me. She is the bedrock of my whole life.

Lyrics
As I walk through this life, sometimes good friends let me down
But I kept on pushing through, no matter who might stick around
cause if I stop to think about it, my brown eyes turn to blue
And there's one thing I could count on, I can count on you
You are my gentle beam of sunshine, My precious droplet of rain
You are the measure of my life's happiness, the ruler of my life's pain
Oh, how I love to see you smile, whether happy or blue
'Cause if there's one thing I can count on, I can count on you.
Oh, Oh, Oh, I've only ever known your love
Oh, The one that I'm still dreaming of
Oh, The way you move's a melody
Oh, Come over here and sing to me
We've had our share of struggle like any other pair
At the first sign of trouble, you were always there, my dear
You know we have had some good times, sometimes it's been tough
I see some folks with everything, but it's never quite enough
Oh, I must confess I fell for that trap, too
Now I have no need of worry, I can count on you
