My Beloved One
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
Knockin' upon love's door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree to keep each other company
Never to go down that road again
My beloved one
My beloved one
Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won't have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard
When I search my hearth it's you I find
My beloved one
My beloved one
My beloved one
You were meant for me
I believe you were sent to me
From the dreams trailing to my heart
Hold your body and close to me
You mean most to me
We will keep each other safe from harm
My beloved one
My beloved one
My beloved one
My beloved one
My Beloved One
