Too Many Nights Lyrics

Uuh, uh, yes,
Yeah, hmm, yes...

Can you imagine
A little boy sitting all alone in his room
Can you get the picture
He's calling out,
He doesn't know what to do
But all that he knows
Is that he'll never go it alone...

'Cause too many nights he's cried
Praying you'll never leave his side
'Cause when it feels like he's falling,
He keeps his eye on his calling
'Cause this world was much too big
To face alone

A few years later,
He found his way to the heart of God
Through the song
Being tested and tried
'Cause sometimes too much
Can get you down
From the nervous voice,
The peaceful sound,
Uuh,
But all that he knows
Is that he'll never go it alone, no...

'Cause too many nights he's cried
Praying you'll never leave his side, oh, no,
'Cause when it feels like he's falling,

He keeps his eye on his calling
'Cause that world is much too big
To face alone

'Cause I know that you love me
And even when times are hard
And I seem to let you down
But I have known you too long
To turn around and walk away
And pass you by, ooh, yeah,
Oh, yes...

(Too many nights I cried
Praying you'll never leave my side)
Oh, it's been too long
To turn away from you, ooh, yeah,
('Cause this world is much too big
To face alone...)

Yeah,
(Praying you'll never leave my side)
Ooh, 'cause when I feel like I'm falling,
I keep my eye on my calling
'Cause that world was much too big
For that boy, uuh,
And this world is still too big
For this man...

Uuh, hallelujah...
