[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I hope I don't losе you

Mm, please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

Don't take

Thеse beautiful things that I've got

[Chorus]

Please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

Don't take

These beautiful things that I've got

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, ooh

Please don't take

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

Don't take

These beautiful things that I've got

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, ooh

[Outro]

Please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

I need

These beautiful things that I've got
