Stay Near My Heart

R&B/Soul

Stay Near My Heart

When the streetlights fade and the night feels cold,
When you’re scared of all the stories that you’ve never told,
If your hands start to tremble and your faith falls apart,
You can lay your worries down and stay near my heart.

Stay near my heart, don’t drift away.
When the dark surrounds you, I’ll be your day.
When the thunder’s rolling and you’re torn apart,
I’ll be right beside you if you stay near my heart.

When the rain keeps falling on your tender dreams,
And the world don’t match the way you thought it would seem,
If your hope turns quiet like a tired old spark,
I’ll be holding up a lantern, stay near my heart.

Stay near my heart, don’t drift away.
When the dark surrounds you, I’ll be your day.
When the thunder’s rolling and you’re torn apart,
I’ll be right beside you if you stay near my heart.

If the stars stop shining, if the sky turns gray,
If the whole world shakes and starts to slip away,
You don’t need an answer, you don’t need a sign,
Just reach out your hand and place it into mine.

When the years grow heavy and our hair turns white,
We’ll remember how we held each other through the night.
Every fear we weathered made a brighter mark,
On the story that we wrote by staying near my heart.

Stay near my heart, don’t drift away.
When the dark surrounds you, I’ll be your day.
When the thunder’s rolling and you’re torn apart,
I’ll be right beside you if you stay near my heart.
