One Hundred Names

I have known you all my life
In fact I knew you long before
A hundred years or so of you
And all I want from you is more
Sometimes I don't know who you are
Sometimes I don't know why you stay
All I know is when I called you came
I have known you by one hundred names

You're the sunshine on my floor
You're the book I've halfway read
You're the smile a stranger gave
And you're the blessing someone said
You're my favorite cowboy song
Echoed aching at sunset
Sung together 'round a fire on the Plains
I have known you by one hundred names

They say I lean on you too much
They said I'll never stand alone
But how can they know what it's like
To be with you inside our home
You make me grateful for the grey
And you make me grateful for the blue
Every morning you love me just the same
I have known you by one hundred names
I have known you by one hundred names
