My Greatest Fear
Randy Travis · Other Songs - Randy Travis
But only for the job I choose to do
And one thought helps me through my darkest hour
Each mile brings me closer to you.
Please believe you're all I ever wanted
If you should leave I don't know what I'd do
I'd be like a child afraid of darkness
The greatest fear I have is losing you.
Heaven knows I've always had these demons
Watching for a place to take control
Whispering, ''You'll never be there for me
Waiting at the end of my road.''
Please believe you're all I ever wanted
If you should leave I don't know what I'd do
I'd be like a child afraid of darkness
The greatest fear I have is losing you.
Alone I wonder through this world
No meaning in my life
And I found you and finally saw the light.
So please believe you're all I ever wanted
If you should leave I don't know what I'd do
I'd be like a child afraid of darkness
The greatest fear I have is losing you.
The greatest fear I have is losing you...
