Beautiful Things

For a while there it was rough
But lately I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
I see my family every month
I found the 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 wanna get used to
There's no man as terrified
As the man who stands to lose you

Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh, ooh, please don't take

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 tell you, I know I got enough
I got peace and I got love
But I'm up at night thinking I just might lose it all

Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Oh, ooh, please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got
