Take my hand
lead me away from here
dance with me
take me to where you are
to the peace and solace
in your arms
you held me once
I wish you would again
I want to look in your eyes
one more time
remember who I am
and who I will be
do I ask too much?
a moment
just for us to share
I feel time going so fast
I need your strength
to continue on
why am I so uncertain
about everything but you
stay with me
a little while
as the darkness threatens
I need your light
a dance to last
through all time
just you
just me
and a music that plays
for us alone
in your presence
I have no fear,no doubt
I pray this feeling will last
long enough to give me courage
to face the darkness
stay with me now and always
and I will go on
