And there 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 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 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... give you all that your heart needs the most.
Let me raise you up Let me be your love
[chorus] May hold you (hold you) 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 one can be found, may I lay you down.
[bridge] All that's made me (made me) Is all worth trading (worth trading) to have one moment with you. So I will let go (will let go) all that I know (that I know) that you're here with me.
For your love is changing me.
[chorus] 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 be your shield. when no one can be found may I lay you down
