Beautiful Things

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 feelin’ 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
Ooh
Please don’t take

I found my mind, I′m feelin’ sane
It’s been a while, but I′m findin′ 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
Ooh
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I’ve got
