For a while there it was roughBut lately, I've been doin' betterThan the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every monthI found a girl my parents loveShe'll come and stay the nightAnd I think I might have it all
And I thank God every dayFor the girl he sent my wayBut I know the things he gives meHe can take awayAnd I hold you every nightThat's a feeling I wanna get used toBut there's no man as terrifiedAs the man who stands to lose you
Oh, I hope I don't lose youMmPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've got
Please stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've gotOh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Please don't take
I found my mind, I'm feelin' saneIt's been a while, but I'm finding my faithIf everything's good and it's greatWhy do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enoughI've got peace and I've got loveBut I'm up at night thinkin'I just might lose it all
Please stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've gotOh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Please stayI want you, I need you, oh GodI needThese beautiful things that I've got
