lyrics

darling, take me as I am
a little bit rough, but hopeful
that you’ll see, in time
beauty of the diamond light I hide
inside this heart,
there wasn’t always room for two,
then it opened up,
now, there’ll never be a thing I would not do for you

getting on in my years
I’ve learned how to pay attention
to the day, at hand
you never know when your time will end
and you’re called back home,
that’s the reason why I sing
with my head held high,
because I don’t want to miss a thing

took me awhile, but I came around
figured it out, mostly the hard way
only so much living left
so much time to catch your breath
if you’ll meet me where I stand
and take me as I am

not so long ago
thought everything was about me,
just a means, to an end
always breaking down because I would not bend
for anyone, but that ain’t no way to live,
what I have come to know,
you’re only getting when you give

took me awhile, but I came around
figured it out, mostly the hard way
only so much living left
so much time to catch your breath
if you’ll meet me where I stand
and take me as I am

took me awhile, but I came around
figured it out, mostly the hard way
only so much living left
so much time to catch your breath
if you’ll meet me where I stand
and take me as I am
