    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
