Sometimes I need shelter
From my own mind
There will be times
When its you I find
And I give in
To the knowledge gained
Too late sometimes
But I’m somehow saved

Always, you make me strong
In your arms where I belong

I cannot put it into words
Or write it down
No matter how holy
Or upon sacred ground
And I may sin
Just to save face
While needing more than enough
From your little ways

Where time doesn’t last too long
In your arms where I belong

Tonight I’m in your hands
Don’t let me go
You have a hold on me
And with that, control
Here in the dark
I see all I need
By the light you give off
By the hand you lead

Take me between right and wrong
In your arms where I belong

Beautiful, JML just beautiful

 --------------
You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes you will
That your beautiful as you feel.~~~ Carol King

Where time doesn’t last too long
In your arms where I belong

Tonight I’m in your hands
Don’t let me go
You have a hold on me
And with that, control
Here in the dark
I see all I need
By the light you give off
By the hand you lead

Take me between right and wrong
In your arms where I belong

you are so romantic and sensitive...
i keep saying too good to be true...
