He took her inside the shelter
Of his heart where he could melt her
With the warmth of his romance
Hoping she would take the chance
To live freely and secure
Not afraid and so unsure
That her mind won't make her leave
His care to make her believe
There's a whole world to explore
If she opens up the door
And unseal what's inside
That's making her run and hide
He caresses her with softness
With a small spark of hopefulness
She will slowly come around
In his arms so strong and sound
That will hold her and protect
From all the other neglect
She's felt leaving her so frightened
Leaving her senses unheightened
To know how true love would feel
And if its gonna be real
With a man who's wrapped her in
The warm touch upon her skin
That releases a new hope
She might be able to cope
As her hearts melting away
In his arms she will not stray
Her mind saying this is right
Comfortable in this delight
