From the album: to be continued… released Oct, 2018
Someone asked me to describe my feelings for my sweetheart. It is so difficult to describe love. I told them that the first time I don’t feel the need to have a backup plan and I didn’t have a suitcase in the closet ready to go in case I wanted to leave. I know I am finally safe in his arms.

Light’s coming in through the window,
I love watching you sleep
My head finds its way to your pillow,
Warm breath, heart beat
A lifetime to find you. I never knew
Love could hold such peace
Chorus:
Stay, I’m gonna stay,
Not walkin’ away, this time
Safe in the arms of a good man,
Someone who stands by my side
Stay
We always found something romantic,
‘Bout a storm rolling in,
You’ll find me through lightings’ flashes,
When the dark comes in again
Thunder may shake us, Winds kick up dust
Make our whole world spin
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
For the first time, I don’t have a suitcase packed
For the first time, no white flag or backup plan.
For the first time, I know down deep inside
Repeat Chorus
