 won't you take me down, to the underground
why  oh why, there is no light
 (BASS NOTE: )
 and if i can't sleep, can you hold my life
 And Allie_________________  (I know these aren't the lyrics, but this bit

and  all i see is you
 and take my hand, i lost  where i began
 in my heart  i know all of my faults
 will you help  me understand
 and i believe in you
 you're the other  half of me
 (Bass Note: High )
 soothe... and heal...
 when you sleep,  when you dream,
 i'll be there  if you need me, whenever  i hear you sing...
there  is a sun,  it'll come,  the  sun,  i  hear them  call me down
 i held  you once, a love  that once, and life  had just begun
and  you're all i see...
 and trumpets  blew, and angels  flew on the  other side
 and you're all  i see, and you're all  i'll need
 there's a love  that god puts in your heart.
