For a while there, it was tough,

But lately, I've been doing better,

Than the last four cold Decembers,

I recall.

And I see my family every month,

I found a guy my parents love,

He'll come and stay the night,

And I think we might have it all.

And I thank God every day,

For the guy 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 woman as terrified,

As the one who stands to lose you.

Oh, I hope I don't lose you,

Mmm, please, stay.

I want you, I need you, oh, God,

Don't take,

These beautiful things that we've got.

Please, stay,

I want you, I need you, oh, God,

Don't take,

These beautiful things that we've got,

Oh, ooh,

Please, don't take.

I found my mind, I'm feeling 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 at night thinking I just might lose it all.

Please, stay,

I want you, I need you, oh, God,

Don't take,

These beautiful things that we've got,

Oh, ooh.

Please, stay,

I want you, I need you, oh, God,

I need,

These beautiful things that we've got.

Together we'll face the rough times,

And cherish the moments that are bright,

With love and faith, we'll find our way,

And hold on tight to these beautiful things.

Please, stay,

I want you, I need you, oh, God,

Don't take,

These beautiful things that we've got,

Oh, ooh.

Please, stay,

I want you, I need you, oh, God,

I need,

These beautiful things that we've got.

Oh, I hope I don't lose you,

Mmm, please, stay.

I want you, I need you, oh, God,

Don't take,

These beautiful things that we've got.
