How can I say it, how can I put this to you
the light in your eyes, tends to surprise me that's true
and it's a hard world to understand, when you're living alone
for a house, that's empty and cold is never a home
the morning shines over my shoulder
the night has run long before the day
and I'll wear you, right next to my skin
don't even know how to begin to tell you
it's a feeling I just can't recall silhouettes on a bedroom wall
lord knows that's not all you're here to stay
how do I know it, this feeling inside slow
burning sensation, something that just can't be denied
and I look for the reasons within, but don't understand
and now I can hardly begin to tell you
just don't know how to begin to tell you why
and the wind blows warm over my shoulder
the clouds sail high on a summer's day
I'll hold you inside of my heart
and make it perfectly clear from the start
it's like water running into the sand
where the sea breaks in onto the land
I'll hold you here in the palm of my hand
you're here to stay
and the morning shines over my shoulder
the night has run long before the day
and I'll wear you, right next to my skin
don't even know how to begin to tell you
it's a feeling I just can't recall silhouettes on a bedroom wall
lord knows that's not all you're here to stay
La la laaaa la la la laaaa you're here to stay
