Delerium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Showing me guidance with unconditional love
And I know that it's true
You are my best friend, I can't believe that you came into my life
Giving me strength and I feel so safe in your arms
I will come to no harm
When you're running scared
and you hide away
I'm right beside you
I am there
I have never been touched like this by another
Or moved or kissed or loved by my lover
Like you love me
You are my angel and I thank god that you came into my life
You are one thing I see when I close my eyes
I'm in the dark of the night
Every time you go away, I will follow you
When you're running scared
and you hide away
I'm right beside you
I am there
I have never been touched like this by another
Or moved or kissed or loved by my lover
Like you love me
You take me down and bring me back again (x2)
