Would you hold me close tonight

and tell me that you love me

These fears grow ever deeper

and the light is fading fast

 

Keep me safe within your arms

and protect me from myself

The dreams grow ever closer

these words could be my last

 

As my time grows shorter

let me know that you are near

Hold me in those eyes so deep

Forever calm, forever peace

 

Tell me you won't fall with me

I couldn't bear the feeling that

you gave up your security

and drowned within my fear

 

I cannot say how much is left

This takes so much from me

But always you were, and will remain

my saviour, my love, my sanctuary

 

As my time grows shorter

let me know that you are near

Hold me in those eyes so deep

Forever calm, forever peace
