cold, cold night
hold me tight
before I freeze
from urging fright

in the darkness
you're the light
that leads my way
in barren nights

your eyes are stars
your smile glows
angels envy
what you could know 

they said
you'll make someone happy someday
so they won't have the urge 
to not try to stay
and that's you
and I'll stay no matter what I do

and angels envy
your light and grace
I'd give a thousand
just to touch your face

and I'd whisper to you
like stricken lovers do
that I need you here
that you should stay here

and I'll smile again
if not in a second
and you'll find that you are
one of my reasons to go on

and a sweet salvation
in your eyes
in your words
yelling to the skies

the angels envy
the way you sway
with the wind, with the time
and the way you seem
to push all fears away

and someday
maybe someday
I'll hold that sweet hand
maybe someday I'll understand
