Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wastin' God's time Livin' without your touch, is driving me out of my mind If you could only see, how much you matter to me Maybe you would stay forever Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away Maybe I'd have my doubts, if I were in your place And if you could see inside, this achin' heart of mine Maybe you would stay forever You don't have to go on livin' With your back against the wall Let my lovin' arms surround you I won't let you fall And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close Maybe you will stay forever And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close Baby you will stay forever
