Watch Over Me
Brittany Marie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forgive me if I cry
It's only gonna be for a little while
Cause' I just can't picture life, without your smile

Forgive me if I scream and
Beg to have you back here with me
Cause' I know that just can't be
I know it can't be

I know you're in a better place
No more tears on your face
The weight of this worlds off your shoulders
There's no more troubles to keep you up at night
Just endless paradise
One day I'll be with you
But until then
Will you watch over me?
Watch over me

Forgive me if I ask God why
He took you from my life
Even though I know his plan is gonna come before mine

Forgive me when I don't understand
When the tears start falling again
When I'm looking through old pictures, and all the memories just sneak up on me

I know you're in a better place
No more tears on your face
The weight of this worlds off your shoulders
There's no more troubles to keep you up at night
Just endless paradise
One day I'll be with you
But until then
Will you watch over me?
Yeah
Watch over me

Everything I do now
Will be for you
I just wanna make you proud
I will follow dreams in this life
Make the most of my time
Until I can see you again

I'll know you're in a better place
No more tears on your face
The weight of this worlds off your shoulders
Yeah

I know you're in a better place
No more tears on your face
The weight of this worlds off your shoulders
There's no more troubles to keep you up at night
Just endless paradise
One day I'll be with you
But until then
Will you watch over me?

Yeah
Watch over me
