A drop in the ocean
• A change in the weather
• I was praying that you and me might end up together
• It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
• But im holding you closer than most,'Cause you are my Heaven
• Don’t wanna waste the weekend
• If you don’t love me, pretend A few more hours, then it's time to go
• As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you'll keep warm
• It's too late to cry
• To broken to move on
• And still I can't let you be
• Most nights I hardly sleep
• don't take what you don’t need from me
• It's just a drop in the Ocean
• A change in the weather
• I was praying that you and me might end up together
• It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
• But i'm holding you closer than most,'Cause you are my heaven.
• Misplaced trust and old friends
• Never counting regrets
• By the grace of God I do not rest at all
• new England as the leaves change
• The last excuse that I'll claim, I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most,'Cause you are my,Heaven
doesn't seem far away anymore no no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most,'Cause you are my heaven /#Q16gHYwc724gZhRZ.99
