Can I Keep You?

We’re laying here 
in the dark
heart-to-heart
and cheek-to-cheek
Do I really have to leave?
Do I really have to go?
Can’t I keep you
steal you away
and keep you by my side
where you are?

Can I keep you?
Can I make you mine
always and forever?								
Can I keep you?
Can I wake by your side
always and forever?

Time is not on our side
together it always flies by
apart lasts longer than forever
I just want you with me
right here, right now
every day til my last breath

Can I keep you?
Can I make you mine
always and forever?
Can I keep you?
Can I wake by your side
always and forever?

All our plans together
can’t come soon enough
to satisfy my need for you

Can I keep you?
Can I make you mine
always and forever?
Can I keep you?
Can I wake by your side
always and forever?
I will love you
always and forever
Can I keep you?
I will love you
always and forever
Can I keep you?
Keep our hearts tethered together
always and forever?
Can I keep you?
I will love you
always and forever
Can I keep you?
Can I keep you?
Can I keep you
always and forever?
