For a (Eb)while there it was rough, but late ly I’ve been do ing bet ter than the last four cold De cem bers I re call.

And I see my (Eb)fam ’ly ev ’ry month.

I found a girl my par ents love.

She’ll come and (Eb)stay the night and I might have it all.

And I thank God ev ’ry day

for the girl He sent my way.

But I (Eb)know the things He gives me, He can take a way.

And I (Eb)hold you ev ’ry night.

That’s a feel ing I wan na get used to.

But there’s no man as ter ri fied

as the man who stands to lose

you.

Oh, I hope I don’t lose you.

Mm,

please

stay.

I (G)want you, I need you.

Oh (Eb)God,

don’t

take

these beau ti ful things that I’ve (Eb)got.

Please
