If I Built You A Temple

If I Built You A Temple Lyrics

If I built you a temple
From the bricks of my heart
Would you stay there forever
Never to tear us apart
If I gave you a mountain of gold
Would you beg me to let you in, ooh would you?
To share our dreams of the days to come
And to find a place where we both will run ooh yeah!
If I built you a temple
Yeah would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within oh no!
If I built you a temple
The soul I give is all I've got
If I gave you my soul to keep
And to treasure it with pride
Would you stay in these arms girl
And never to let it slide
If I built you a staircase
To the heavens within
Would you share the light
Under garden trees
To walk a million miles
In the land of the free ooh yeah!
If I built you a temple
Would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within
If I built you a temple
Ooh no, the soul I give is all I've got yeah!
You know it's all I've got
Through you're a million miles
Away from me
Our love's so close as any love can be
And when I'm feeling down
I know you'll be there yeah!
Like a flower born in the early spring
Just I need of love and the gifts you bring
So sister above - I think I'm in love
Yeah If I built you a temple
Would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within oh no!
If I built you a temple
The soul I give is all I've got yeah!
If I built you a temple
Would you beg me to let you in
If I built you a temple
Would you try to stay within oh no!
If I built you a temple
The soul I give is all I've got
