Trading Yesterday

And there you stand opened heart--opened doors
full of life with the world that's wanting more.
But I can see when the lights start to fade,
the day is done and your smile has gone away.
Let me raise you up.
Let me be your love.
May I hold you
as you fall to sleep,
when the world is closing in
and you can't breathe.
May I love you.
May I be your shield.
When no one can be found
may I lay you down.
All I want is to keep you safe from the cold...
to give you all that your heart needs the most.
Let me raise you up
Let me be your love
[chorus]
May I hold you (hold you)
as you fall to sleep.
When the world is closing in
