Oh, I thought it was wrong
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 girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night
And I think we 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
There's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrible
As the man who stands to lose
Oh, I hope I don't lose you
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
Please don't take
I found my mind, I'm feeling sane
It's been a while but I'm fighting my fate
Cause 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 a knife
I've got peace and I've got life
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
Don't take

This beautiful things that I've got
Oh, oh, oh
Please stay
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
