Lyrics sheet: https://mnsongwriters.org/wp-content/uploads/formidable/10/Love-Me-When-You-Can-1.rtf

Lyrics:

Your beauty overwhelms me
It stirs my very soul
Whenever you’re around me
I struggle to control my feelings

I know that we can make it work
But there’s a hill we have to climb
I long to hear you say the word
But I know you need more time

So I’m writing you this letter
To make my intentions clear

Chorus:
I would love you to love me
But I understand
You need to learn to trust again
So love me when you can

Shattered dreams a shattered home
You have been betrayed
He mistreated and abused you
Left you angry and afraid of loving

An injured bird needs time to heal
So it can fly again
You can’t give your heart away
When it’s still on the mend

I know I can make you happy
‘cause that’s what you deserve

[Repeat Chorus]

I will be waiting for you
Take all the time you need
I’ll never put myself before you
Can’t you see

[Repeat Chorus]
