For a while there, it was rough 00:06

But lately, I've been doin' better 00:10

Than the last four cold Decembers 00:13

I recall 00:16

And I see my family every month 00:20

I found a girl my parents love 00:23

She'll come and stay the night 00:27

And I think I might have it all 00:29

And I thank God every day 00:33

For the girl He sent my way 00:37

But I know the things He gives me 00:41

He can take away 00:44

And I hold you every night 00:48

And that's a feeling I wanna get used to 00:51

But there's no man as terrified 00:56

As the man who stands to lose you 01:00

01:05

Oh, I hope I don't lose you 01:08

Mm 01:11

Please stay 01:13

I want you, I need you, oh God 01:17

Don't take 01:20

These beautiful things that I've got 01:24

Please stay 01:27

I want you, I need you, oh God 01:31

Don't take 01:34

These beautiful things that I've got 01:38

Oh-oh-oh-oh 01:41

Ooh 01:45

Please don't take 01:47

I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane 01:53

It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith 01:56

If everything's good and it's great 02:00

Why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone? 02:02

Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough 02:06

I've got peace and I've got love 02:09

But I'm up at night thinkin' 02:13

I just might lose it all 02:16

Please stay 02:21

I want you, I need you, oh God 02:25

Don't take 02:28

These beautiful things that I've got 02:32

Oh-oh-oh-oh 02:36

Ooh 02:39

Please stay 02:42

I want you, I need you, oh God 02:46

I need 02:49

These beautiful things that I've got 02:53

[English]

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
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-oh-oh-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-oh-oh-oh
Ooh
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got
