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
