To Myself - Tift Merritt

Hello, the good, good morning.

Oh, you are looking well.

Come here and hold me slowly,

I want you to myself.

Don’t let the world distract you,

Don’t call for no one else.

Just let the feeling have you,

I want you to myself.

Oh there’s so much to go around,

So much to go around,

You know I want you to stay.

Oh there’s so much to go around.

When you try to pin it down,

That moment slips away.

And when you are far from me,

And going someplace else,

I’ll think of next time, baby,

I’ll have you to myself.

Unfolding me like branches,

Give me that tender spell,

Dance awhile in my kitchen,

I want you to myself.

Oh there’s so much to go around,

You know I’m really happy now

And I want you to stay.

Oh there’s so much to go around,

When you try to pin it down,

That moment slips away.

Each moment is a secret,

How much it has to tell,

But it will never speak it,

If you keep it to yourself.

Oh there’s so much to go around,

Really shining, really living now,

Do you think you can stay?

Oh there’s so much to go around,

When you try to pin it down,

That moment slips away.
