Take Me There
Jackie Evancho Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the days seem darker
And the nights more cold
All the fear is broken
When there's you to hold

Never doubt or question
What I feel for you
You will not be certain

I will follow through

Take me there
Take me there with you
I don't know where
But I'll follow too

So take me there
Take me there with you

With the road wide open
And the daybreak near
I could never fathom
Life without you here

Take me there
Take me there with you
I don't know where
But I'll follow too

So take me there
Take me there with you

I will see you through
Everything you do

Take me there
Take me there with you
