"LET ME LOVE YOU"
Verse 1
The other night, when I got home after a tough day,
I said some things I now regret: Why did I talk to you that way?
You didn't say much, but I knew I'd hurt you inside.
I don't know why I lash out that way; I guess it's my pride.
But if you or I were suddenly gone, what would be left behind?
How could we go on?
Chorus 1
Let me love you while we're here, let me hold you while we're near,
Let's enjoy this loving moment while it lasts.
See, the chance is here today, why let the love just waste away?
'Cause the moment and the chance may soon be past.
Let me love you while you're here,
Let me love you while you're here.
Verse 2
I turned the TV on to catch the news last night.
My God, it seems sometimes the world can't do much at all but fight.
I saw some things, you know, I wished I could forget,
Lives ended with no warning; I can just imagine the regret
That must be filling hearts and minds, it made me pray,
“God, fill my heart with love, do it today."
Chorus 2
Let me love you while we're here, let me hold you while we're near,
Let's enjoy this loving moment while it lasts.
See, the chance is here today, why let the love just waste away?
'Cause the moment and the chance may soon be past.
Let me love you while you're here,
Let me love you while you're here.
Bridge
The chance to love someone's a chance to get life right,
So let me love you while I can.
Chorus 3
Let me love you while we're here, let me hold you while we're near,
Let's enjoy this loving moment while it lasts.
See, the chance is here today, why let the love just waste away?
'Cause the moment and the chance may soon be past.
Let me love you while we're here,
Let me love you while we're here.
Let me love you while we're here,
Let me love you while we're here.
-Let me love you.
