My Soul To Keep

Verse1

Every night I lay my head 

down to sleep

pray the Lord 

My Soul To Keep

without you here

it's different inside

I just can't seem to clear my mind

never thought I'd be

in this deep

 

Verse2

In my dreams

you walk with me

down the ocean way

you clear my mind

with every word you say

I hang on

without a net

to your sweet voice

to everything you say

you steal my heart away

 

Bridge

Just take me

by the hand

we'll walk this land

hand in hand

make me understand

where you are

 

Chorus

Late at night

I hit my knees

I begin to pray

for you and me

I hit my knees

to pray

My Soul To Keep

there we are

you and me

I hit my knees

and I pray

My Soul To Keep

to God

for you and me

My Soul To Keep

 

Verse3

I feel the wave

of your energy

when we talk

it's just you and me

when I fall

you always catch me

my head's in the clouds

but my feet

are on the ground

they're on the ground

 

(solo)

 

Verse4

When you fall

into my arms

sleep next to me

just look into my eyes

and you will see

it's only you and me

 

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Here recently I've been going through a lot in my life with people moving away, with people passing away, and with my own health issues. This came from all of that. I put music to it the same night I finished writing it. This was one of those songs that took a couple days to finish completely. I played it for my brother and he let me know that he thought it was the best song I've ever written.
