HERE I AM
(Jessi Colter)

Jessi Colter - 1976

You walk away into the sunset
You stop, take one last look at me
I feel that look, once more I'm warm all over
Here I am, here I'll stay


We been together but a short time
Your fingertips have learned my face
Your hands on me have lightened ev'ry darkened place
Here I am, here I'll stay


When I awake and find the mornin' sun
As much a part of me as you
My heart can't hold the love that flows from me to you
Here I am, here I'll stay


If you would leave, so would the sunrise
Stay here, let your warm hands kindle on me
A thousand days, a thousand ways I've needed you
Here I am, here I'll stay


Here I am, here I'll stay
