Close the door
I don't wanna let the cold in
Cause the night is getting older and I'm tired
Hold me close
And I won't let another soul in
Cause you are everything and all I need tonight
You have my heart
Yours for the keeping
You are the first thing I believed in
And now I'm yours and you are mine tonight
Take my hand
Cause I don't want to be without you
You're my anchor and my lighthouse in the storm
Lead the way
Cause I don't want to walk without you
You're a the rose amongst a bitter world of thorns
You have my heart
Yours for the keeping
You are the first thing I believed in
And now I'm yours and you are mine tonight
My heart is yours
It's clean and healing
You've closed the wounds and stopped the bleeding
I'll give you all I am, give you my life
And I will never let you down
And I will never turn away
And I will never be alone another day
Cause you are everything and all I need tonight
You have my heart
Yours for the keeping
You are the first thing I believed in
And now I'm yours and you are mine tonight
My heart is yours
It's clean and healing
You've closed the wounds and stopped the bleeding
I'll give you all I am, give you my life
