Lyrics
Verse 1
Will you see me when trouble strikes
When struggles surround me like the darkest night
And the person I was is like a dying flame
My soul is fading and my body aches
Verse 2
Will you see me when I can’t see you
And the stories I tell you are but a few
You’re like a stranger full of tenderness
Deep inside I cherish you and sense your kindness
Chorus 1
On the fierce and scary nights
When the storms were frightening
I always held you tight
You were sleeping in my arms,
And I always kept you
Safe from every harm
Verse 3
Will you see me when my voice is frail
My heart may be weak, but my love will never pale
All I can offer you are my trembling hands
And when I close my eyes, only love commands.
Verse 4
You’re my angel, you bring me peace
Someone I’ve always loved oh my sweet release
Through the fog and through the bitter parts
I will always carry you deep in my heart.
Chorus 1
On the fierce and scary nights
When the storms were frightening
I always held you tight
You were sleeping in my arms,
And I always kept you
Safe from every harm
Verse 5
We pretend we’re feeling strong
But deep inside we quietly moan
Every day there’s a silent sky
That’s slipping through my lonely eyes
Verse 6
Will you tell me these verses I wrote
Will you remind me of every note
Will you bless me with your kiss
Will your heart keep me in bliss
Chorus 2
Will you always hold me tight
Will you protect me from the
Dark and scary night
Keep me safe from every harm
I weather every storm here
Safely in your arms
Will you see me when trouble strikes
When struggles surround me like the darkest night
And the person I was is like a dying flame
My soul is fading and my body aches
Verse 2
Will you see me when I can’t see you
And the stories I tell you are but a few
You’re like a stranger full of tenderness
Deep inside I cherish you and sense your kindness
Chorus 1
On the fierce and scary nights
When the storms were frightening
I always held you tight
You were sleeping in my arms,
And I always kept you
Safe from every harm
Verse 3
Will you see me when my voice is frail
My heart may be weak, but my love will never pale
All I can offer you are my trembling hands
And when I close my eyes, only love commands.
Verse 4
You’re my angel, you bring me peace
Someone I’ve always loved oh my sweet release
Through the fog and through the bitter parts
I will always carry you deep in my heart.

Comments:
The language and use of imagery is lovely. I think the listener needs a little more information about the person the narrator is talking to as it isn’t clear.

I wrote this song thinking about my mom and her battle with Alzheimer’s . The story starts with her protecting us when we were kids and as her health degraded the lyrics show the changes in her life and the role of protection inverted with her seeking for protection from their children
