May I (Trading Yesterday)

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
