For a while there it was rough
But lately I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night
And I think I might have it all
And I thank God every day
For the girl
He sent my way
But I know the things
He gives me
He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified
As the man who stands to lose you
Oh I hope I don't lose you
Please stay
I want you I need you oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Please stay
I want you I need you oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh ooh
Please don't take
I found my mind I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while but I'm finding my faith
If everything's good and it's great
Why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone
Oh I'll tell ya I know I've got enough
I've got peace and I've got love
But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all
Please stay
I want you I need you oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh ooh
Please stay
I want you I need you oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got
