Take Me Away (Trijan Refrain)

by Cindy   Nov 23, 2007


My love please come take me away
Where pain no longer lives
Where colors are bright no longer gray
Our love we can relive
Waiting for you to come for me
Together the sun we can see
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Praying for you my final plea

My love please come take me away
I've been waiting for so long
Back in your arms to always stay
Hearing your loves sweet song
Joyous longing to fill my heart
Never again will we depart
Joyous longing
Joyous longing
Waiting so long for you sweetheart

My love please come take me away
Hold me in your embrace
Need to feel the suns warming rays
To touch your handsome face
Please take my hand, holding it tight
Lead me from darkness to the light
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Fly away with me to new heights
