Take Me As I Am

Suzanne Mondoux · 4 July 2020

Take me in your arms and never let me go Sing me to sleep, draw me into your dreams I love the way you love me, what a feeling You take me as I am, only the best of me Take me as I am, you get the best of me

We were young, we wed, children were created Each day a new life, our life refreshed Take me as I am, you get the best of me The best of our life, we saw the light in us The fire in our eyes, for you, for me You took me as I am, only the best of us

We let life flow through us, together we were one Our independence united us Our self created this life for us Take me as I am was the best choice we ever made You took me as I am, only the best of what was I Only the best of what was you

Gathering all the memories, the joy of our life The memories of our tears, together we endured Together we made this life for us Our children learned about love They learned how to love themselves How to love another For you take me as I am, you only get the best of me The best of a life you decide The best of you
