Give me one last try
Hold on for me
Believe my alibi
Keep strong
Don't set me free
Well this weakness makes me wrong
I'll show you I can be strong
And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
But I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me
I know I've pushed my luck
So many times
I'm slippin' slowly now
Loosin' track, of my mind
Well this shadow I've become
Will step out to meet the sun
And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
But I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me
And when the darkness comes
And I lose sight,
of the precious world
that you put right
You've the strength to pull me through
One last try I'm asking you
And this time it is for real
I know the hurt I've made you feel
But I won't let you down
No one else would have me 'round
You gave your love so honestly
Is heaven's grace too good for me
