I Look to You - Whitney Houston

Album: I Look to You

genre: Pop R&B / Soul

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you[x2]
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you[x2]
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you

About to lose my breath
There’s no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I’ve taken
Led to my regret
And I don’t know if I’m go’n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you[x2]
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you[x2]
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you

My levees are broken
My walls are coming down on me
My rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me!

I look to you[x2]
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you[x2]
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you.
