Beautiful Things

[Verse 1]

For a while there, it was rough

Lately, I've been doin' better

Than the last four cold Decembers I recall

See my family every month

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 feeling I want to get used to

But there is no man as terrified

As the man who stands to lose you

[Chorus]

Oh, I hope I don't lose you

Mm, please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

And don't take

These beautiful things that I've got

And please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

And don't take

These beautiful things that I've got

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

Please don't take

[Verse 2]

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 know I've got enough

I've got peace and I got love

But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all

[Chorus]

Please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

And don't take

These beautiful things that I've got

Please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

And don't take

These beautiful things that I've got

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh

[Outro]

Please stay

I want you, I need you, oh God

Don't take

These beautiful things that I've got
