Life in the first degree

They tell me I ought to go
I tell them they just don't know
Now that we're together
I have to stay
When I think of the things I do
I need nothing more from you
Just to be forgiven is enough for me

So I'll sing in the streets
And dance in the aisles
And celebrate what will be
You're my only hope, your Love everlasting
Life in the First degree

I looked for a way for years
Alone with my bitter fears
Blamed it on the weather, on what went wrong
When everything fell apart
You were there to repair my heart
And now that we're together
I have to stay
