I know that you need your space. Like I need mine, but need to have
You close and even near, while we yet have time
Your presence is a heavenly vision to me
The worst thing a man could ever do , would be to take your love
And sweetness for granted, because if that would happen
He might as well get off the planet, one true thing I can say
Your love has taught me how to connect the dots and your patience
With my sometimes foolishness, really means a lot, so teach me how
To give your soul deep inside a wow, I tenderly want it to happen now

Now that you're leaving, I thought it was all a bad dream,
But it's a real fact, and should you decide to come back home here to me
I just want you to know right now , my darling girl,that's
A no crossing track, just have to stop my tears that are falling silently
Won't stop you from going out that door, if you really want to be free
And if life lets you know , it was all one big mistake, know that I
Prepared to move on, so don't come running back to me

I feel my heart being so fast, need to be held close and kept warm
Don't have any hidden secrets to keep, just want to be held by your side
Until I drift off into deep sleep, never need to be warned
Just want to be cozy and ever so warm,so I'm asking very kindly
And so very sweet, please take me in out this storm

I feel my heart being fast, need to be held close
And kept warm,don't have any hidden secrets to keep
Just want to be held by your side, until I drift off into sleep
My thoughts are pure, never need to be warned
Hard rain is falling down,  everyplace tonight
Just want to be cozy and ever so warm, so I'm asking very kindly
And sweet, please take in out of this storm

Determine within yourself, to smile more, worry less
Let love and peace guide you away from the path of bigotry
That will slay the soul and mind, look to the lush green cornfields
Standing as silent guards in America, the blooming summer apples
The the rapid streams, with minnows swimming in clear creeks
Junebugs buzzing in sundown , butterflies floating in soft winds
Fireflies glowing as tiny  neon signs, outliving, outdoing, stonings
Beatings to the body , spirit, of being called "shine'' , '' ******'' , '' darky''
Which of themselves, are never unforgettable, ever hoping that a stain
will be left on white souls, so that one might be able to smile in autumn

Tick tock every living soul on earth is on life's clock
The minutes and hours are quickly dying, much needed time
Is passing away, days disappear, moments and seconds dear to life
Will soon be gone, but tomorrow will give birth to a brand new day
And another dawn

It seems I've waited a whole lifetime
Just to love you, to hold out my arms and draw you near
Now that we have each other so faithfully , wedding rings sparkling
In the sunshine of future days ahead, I wish that we could spend
Eternity here, forever as one
