Scott Malcom: Music
for a while
Written in February of 2004, For A While is an ode to newfound love.
Ready to say goodbye to the life I've known.
Together in our short time how my feelings have grown.
Circumstances have left me cold.
Could you be the one to love me?
Will it happen before I am old?
I just need someone to hold me.
I have the will if you have the way,
and I'm not afraid to ask if you could stay for a while.
I can feel my life is changing, and you make my heart stand still.
I would love for you to stay.
Please say you will.
How did you come my way?
Did you just appear?
Are you the antithesis of all my fears?
When I'm lost in your embrace, words can't describe how I feel,
And I can see it in your face... We're part of something real.
Now that you're here, can you promise you won't hurt me?
Will I be safe lying in your arms?
Now that you're here, can you promise that you'll love me?
Will you love me for what I am?
Can you love me for what I'm not?
