Lover Of My Soul by Dan Bremnes Lyrics
I don’t think I’ll ever understand
How You love me
You give me breath, You give me life and I
Give You every reason to leave
You stay here
Even when I don’t believe
You stay right here
Your kindness is a mystery
Even if I fall
A thousand times
You won’t let go
You won’t let go
Even if I run
And try to hide
You hold me close
You’re the lover of my soul, soul, soul
No one else would dare to love this heart
If they saw what’s inside
You know my thoughts, all my secrets
But still You offer me life
You stay here
Even if I fall
A thousand times
You won’t let go
You won’t let go
Even if I run
And try to hide
You hold me close
You’re the lover of my soul, soul, soul
The lover of my soul, soul, soul
All my love, all my heart, all my life is Yours
All my love, all my heart, all my life is Yours
Even if I fall
A thousand times
You won’t let go
You won’t let go
Even if I run
And try to hide
You hold me close
You’re the lover of my soul, soul, soul
Lover of my soul, soul, soul
The lover of my soul, soul, soul
You’re the lover of my soul
