Be With You
W. Houston & E. Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Monday night I feel so low
I count the hours, but they go so slow
I know the sound of your voice
Can save my soul
City lights, and streets of gold
Look out my window to the world below
Moves so fast, but it feels so cold
And I'm all alone (and I'm all alone)

But don't let me die
I'm losing my mind
And baby, just give me a sign

And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you (wanna be with you)
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you (be with you)
Wanna be with you

I can't sleep, I'm up all night
Through these tears, I try to smile
I know the touch of your hand
Can save my life
But don't let me down
Come to me now
I got to be with you somehow

And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you (wanna be with you)
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you (be with you)
Wanna be with you

Don't let me down
Come to me now

I got to be with you somehow
And now that you're gone
Who am I without you now?
I can't go on
I just wanna be with you (be with you)

And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you (wanna be with you)
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you (be with you), wanna be with you

And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you, oh

Just wanna be with you
Just wanna be with you




Just wanna be with you
Just wanna be with you

@@riddhimehta333 All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power.
Sinners prayers GOD hears not.
Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers.

Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155
“Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.”


(Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain).

Monday night and I feel so low
I count the hours but they go so slow
I know the sound of your voice
Can save my soul

City lights, streets of gold
Look out my window to the world below
Moves so fast and it feels so cold
And I'm all alone (and I'm all alone)

Don't let me die
I'm losing my mind
Baby just give me a sign

And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you (be with you)
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you (be with you)
Wanna be with you

I can't sleep, I'm up all night
Through these tears I try to smile
I know the touch of your hand
Can save my life

Don't let me down
Come to me now
I got to be with you somehow

And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you (be with you)
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you (be with you)
Wanna be with you

Don't let me down
Come to me now
I got to be with you somehow

And now that you're gone
Who am I without you now
I can't go on
I just wanna be with you (be with you)
And now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you (be with you)
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you (be with you), wanna be with you
Now that you're gone
I just wanna be with you
And I can't go on
I wanna be with you, oh

Just wanna be with you
Just wanna be with you
Just wanna be with you
Just wanna be with you
