Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I am lost
You shine a light for me and set me free
When I am low
You wash away my tears and take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
Through the darkest nights, somehow I survived
[Chorus]
Through it all, when you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have, I wanna give to thee, oh baby
[Verse 2]
If I should fall, your love is strong enough to lift me up
If I'm afraid, oh baby, you chase away my fears and take me to
A brighter place beyond the rain
And I feel alright cause you're by my side
[Chorus]
Through it all, and you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love breaks away the clouds surrounding me
All I have, I wanna give to thee
Mmm-mmm
Da-da-da-da-da
Mmm
[Bridge]
You take me through
The loneliness and emptiness
And I feel alright 'cause you're by my side
[Chorus]
Through it all, when you tell me I'm the only one you need
Sweet and tenderly
And your love just breaks away the clouds surrounding me
Baby, all I have, I wanna give to thee
[Outro]
Wanna give you all of my love
Now and forever, my love
All I have, I wanna give to thee
