I've never been so lonely In this deserted trail Even though you hold my hand Your hand is so cold and frail Gentle breath and tenderness Come words that you once told me Somehow those words that you say They make me much less lonely crashes the cold of the night and roses all wither away The night and the flower cannot overpower the words that I want you to say You may slip and you may slide, but you got an angel by your side Hold you in his arms, keep you safe from harm I heard those words a thousand times before And I've said them a thousand more But hearing those words, believing those words Was a thing I never did explore See, I just wanted to be a better son, a better friend, a better man, a better whatever So the next time I walk this path again I'll walk it with a true friend You may slip and you may slide, but you got an angel by your side Hold you in his arms, keep you safe from harm You may slip and you may slide, but you got an angel by your side Hold you in his arms, keep you safe from harm You may slip and you may slide, but you got an angel by your side Hold you in his arms, keep you safe from harm Yeah... Keep you safe from harm... Yeah... Keep you safe from harm... Yeah... Father in the sky, he loves you more than I [SECOND PROGRESSION] I'd rather be with you than without Within you than about you And I come to find out you want the same Oh lord I want to breath you May my every movement free you From the place I've kept you locked up all these days I'd rather be with you than without Within you than about you And I come to find out you want the same Oh lord I want to breath you May my every movement free you From the place I've kept you locked up all these days I'd rather be with you than without Within you than about you And I come to find out you want the same Oh lord I want to breath you May my every movement free you From the place I've kept you locked up all these days
