The note that you left me, i just can't believe my eyes
Now you're gone, nothing can bring you back, and it's tearing me apart
I'd give all i have for one last chance to be sheltered in your arms
Sheltered in yours arms
Sheltered in your arms
Sheltered ..
Tell me how do i live with this emptiness inside?
In this world you were the one i chose to rest my head upon
And it was your love that made me strong when i was sheltered in your arms
Sheltered in your arms
Sheltered in your arms
Sheltered ..
You always gave me second chances when i made mistakes before
But i know this time you won't foregive, you're not giving anymore
Now you've gone, nothing can bring you back and it's tearing me apart
In this world you were the one i chose to rest my head upon
I'd give all i have for one last chance to be sheltered in your arms
Sheltered in your arms
Sheltered in your arms
Sheltered in your arms
Sheltered ..

I just love this song! There are some songs that David sung,that when I listen to them I can feel my body physically relaxing,he had such a soft beautiful singing voice,could listen to him forever and never get tired of it! Never be anyone who will sing like he did,loved his fans like he did,and look so jaw dropping gorgeous like he did! Loved the picture at 0.48 when he was sitting in bed looking at the newspapers,I wonder if they had reports and pictures of David,and he was checking out on himself! Wish you were sheltered in the arms of your fans,we would keep you safe and never let you go! Rest peacefully sweet David.
