heaven help me lyrics

I could lose my vision,
my eyes no longer see.
I could lose my religion,
in my struggle to believe.
That would be a loss,
that would be a cross,
but somehow rise above.
But, Heaven Help Me
if I ever lose your love.

I've traded innocence
for the secrets of the night.
Felt my callused conscience
lose its grip on wrong and right.
It cut me to the bone,
Somehow I've held on,
'cause I could feel your touch.
But, Heaven Help Me
if I ever lose your love.

~Chorus~

'Cause you are the one light
that shines on me
and without your love
God knows where I'd be.
Lost without a prayer
somewhere way out there,
my soul would turn to dust.
And Heaven Help Me
if I ever lose your love.

~Chorus~

'Cause you are the one light
that shines on me
and without your love
God knows where I'd be.
So hold me close again,
tell me it won't end,
and that will be enough.
Heaven Help Me
if I ever lose your love.

And, Heaven Help Me
if I ever lose your love.
