No rush though I need your touch I won't rush your heart Until you feel on solid ground Until your strength is found, girl I'll fill those canyons in your soul Like a river lead you home And I'll walk a step behind In the shadows so you shine Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" Somebody else was here before He treated you unkind And broken wings need time to heal Before a heart can fly, girl I'll fill those canyons in your soul Like a river lead you home And I'll walk a step behind In the shadows so you shine Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one" Trust in me and you'll find a heart so true All I want to do is give the best of me to you And stand beside you Just ask it will be done And I will prove my love Until you're sure that I'm "the one"
