I Got You
Al Denson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I'm acting like a fool
Some friends have betrayed me
Since I gave my love to You
But I'd rather wear their labels
Than live out some lie
To know all the answers
While peace is so hard to find
I've got You whenever the storm clouds roll
I've got You when love steals the joy in my soul
I've got You when life is a bitter chill
I've got You, a light burning brighter even still
Now some say that maybe
It's a phase I'm going through
But their words deny their logic
When they say that I'm the fool
Now faith, hope and love
Will never go away
Instead of getting angry
They will always have me say
I've got You whenever the storm clouds roll
I've got You when love steals the joy in my soul
I've got You when life is a bitter chill
I've got You, a light burning brighter even still
Now there are no rewards
For facing this lonely world alone
Philosophy and fiction
Won't change the fact that You rose
I'm glad to know I've got You
Yeah, I've got You
I've got You whenever the storm clouds roll
I've got You when love steals the joy in my soul
I've got You when life is a bitter chill
I've got You, a light burning brighter even still
I've got You whenever the storm clouds roll
I've got You when love steals the joy in my soul
I've got You when life is a bitter chill
I've got You, a light burning brighter even still
I've got You
