Ribbon Of Red Lyrics

by Sonia Leigh

Oh leave me here and let me be
Don't you take my hand so that I may not see
Oh nothing is ever what it's cracked up to be
And hearts get broken but please don't let it be me

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e90247-sonia_leigh~ribbon_of_red_lyrics.html ]
Shield my eyes from the ways of love
For I long to believe what I offer is enough
To hold one moment long enough to last a whole lifetime
I know hearts get broken but please don't let it be mine

Well one day, some day, oh one day my dreams will come true
Will I walk that ribbon of red with my arms holding you?

Save my soul and pull me from the flames
I've fallen into love without a face of shame
I know forever is a word used so carelessly
So many speak of love much too eagerly

So shelter my body with the weight of yours
And hold me like you've never held another before
Give your heart to me, precious and true
I know hearts get broken but I swear I won't let it be you

Oh one day, someday, one day this black bird will fly
Will you meet me there my love and walk that ribbon in the sky?
Will you meet me there my love and walk that ribbon in the sky?
