May I

And there you stand opened heart--opened doors

full of life with the world that's wanting more

But I can see when the lights start to fade,

the day is done and your smile has gone away

Let me raise you up

Let me be your love

May I hold you

as you fall to sleep?

When the world is closing in

and you can't breathe

May I love you

May I be your shield

When no one can be found

may I lay you down

All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...

to give you all that your heart needs the most

Let me raise you up

Let me be your love

May I hold you (hold you)

as you fall to sleep

When the world is closing in

and you can't breathe,

may I love you. (love you)

May I be your shield

When no one can be found,

may I lay you down

All that's made me (made me)

Is all worth trading (worth trading)

just to have one moment with you

So I will let go (will let go)

all that I know (that I know)

knowing that you're here with me

For your love is changing me.

May I hold you

as you fall to sleep

When the world is closing in

and you can't breathe,

may I love you

May I be your shield

when no one can be found

may I lay you down
