And there you stand opened heart--opened doors
full of life with the world that's wanting more.
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
the day is done and your smile has gone away.
Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love.
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep,
when the world is closing in
and you can't breathe.
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
may I lay you down.
All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
to give you all that your heart needs the most.
Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love
May I hold you (hold you)
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
and you can't breathe,
may I love you. (love you)
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found,
may I lay you down.
All that's made me (made me)
Is all worth trading (worth trading)
just to have one moment with you.
So I will let go (will let go)
all that I know (that I know)
knowing that you're here with me.
For your love is changing me.
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep,
when the world is closing in
and you can't breathe.
may I love you.
May I be your shield.
when no one can be found
may I lay you down.
