Beautiful Things

Oh God, don't take
These beautiful things that I've got

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 a boy my parents love
He'll come and stay with me
And I think I might have it all

And I thank God every day
For the man he sent my way
'Cause I know the things he gives me
He can take away
And I hold you every night
That's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no one as terrified
As the one who stands to lose you

Oh, I hope I don't lose you
Mmm
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-oh, woah-oh, ooh ooh-ooh
Please don't take

I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith
If everything's good and it's great
Why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone? (Wait' til it's gone)
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know
I've got enough, I've got peace and I've 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

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

Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need these beautiful things that I've got
