For a while there it was rough, but lately I've been doing better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I'll 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't take away
And I'll hope you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no way I can stop

Cause no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you
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 been through
God, 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
This beautiful face that I've got
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
