Near You Always

Singer/Songwriter: Jewel
I want to be near you always no matter the circumstance,
For we live a life uncommon so we must seek forgiveness,
there's an absence of fear in your arms which swept me in a trance,
I beg you love, I’m sensitive and wish no wrong furtiveness.
For we live a life uncommon so we must seek forgiveness,
within my hands I hold a spark and your eyes stare at my waist,
I beg you, love, I’m sensitive and wish no wrong furtiveness,
when the sun comes up we'll sing our morning song face to face.
Within my hands I hold a spark and your eyes stare at my waist,
I hope you realize you were meant for me, I am for you,
when the sun comes up we'll sing our morning song face to face,
my intuition tells me you're my absolute true value.
I hope you realize you were meant for me, I am for you,
no foolish games have been played, for I only need your essence,
my intuition tells me you're my absolute true value,
carry pieces of you where I go, my soul has learned lessons.
No foolish games have been played, for I only need your essence,
I am my father’s daughter and was raised to know loyalty,
carry pieces of you where I go, my soul has learned lessons,
this way we walk holding hands, I truly feel like royalty.
I am my father’s daughter and was raised to know loyalty,
as we are standing still I pray you sway me into sweet dreams,
this way we walk holding hands, I truly feel like royalty,
let’s kiss the flame and drown in deep water where ecstasy screams.
As we are standing still I pray you sway me into sweet dreams,
there's an absence of fear in your arms which swept me in a trance,
let’s kiss the flame and drown in deep water where ecstasy screams,
I want to be near you always no matter the circumstance.
