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 talk tonight
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 hug her every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no one as terrified
As the one who stands to lose you
Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Mm

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 till 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 I am thinking
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
