For a while there it was rough, but lately I've been doing betterThan the last four cold Decembers I recallAnd I'll see my family every monthI found a girl my parents loveShe'll come and stay the night and I think I might have it allAnd I thank God every day for the girl he sent my wayBut I know the things he gives me he can't take awayAnd I'll hope you every nightAnd that's a feeling I wanna get used toBut there's no way I can stopCause no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose youOh, I hope I don't lose youPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh God, don't takeThese beautiful things that I've been throughGod, please, stayI want you, I need you, oh God, don't takeThese beautiful things that I've gotPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh God, don't takeThis beautiful face that I've gotPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh God
