Love For Today by Melodie Yvonne

You don’t have to give me the world
Just please don’t take it away
You don’t have to tell me you love me
If there’s no love there’s nothin’ to say

You don’t have to come here to save me
Or promise to take me away
Just please love me here in this moment
So I can have love for today

I don’t need your friends or your money
What I want’s what money can’t buy
I just wanna feel your arms wrapped around me
And feel how I look through your eyes

You don’t have to take time to save me
Or promise to take me away
Just please love me here in this moment
So I can have love for today

You don’t have to make me no promise
Just be here if only one day
Just lie to me here in this moment
And let me forget you can’t stay
