Keep me with you

All i ask of you is to stay
stay here with me and never go away
be with me until the sun goes down
until all the earth wears a frown...

hold my hand and keep me warm
in your arms and away from harm
i want to hear your heart beat
as i stand next to you
i want to stay awake until the grass meets dew

i want to walk in the rain until we both get colds
to stand in the field with open hope
i want to watch the stars fly by
i want you to sing me our lullaby

hold me close until i fall asleep
in your arms is where I'll dream
wake me when the storm is over
and never again leave my shoulder

keep me safe within your grasping hands
keep me close all through the fire
all these things i ask of you
keep me from the moment you say i do
