George Jones Take Me lyrics

Take me, take me to your darkest room

Close every window and bolt every door

The very first moment I heard your voice

I'd be in darkness no more

 

Take me to your most barren desert

A thousand miles from the nearest sea

The very moment I saw your smile

It would be like heaven to me

 

There's not any mountain to rugged to climb

No desert too barren to cross

Darlin', if you would just show a sign 

Of love, I could bear any loss

 

Take me to Siberia

And the coldest weather of the winter time

And it would be just like spring in California

As long as I knew you were mine

 

There's not any mountain to rugged to climb

No desert too barren to cross

Darlin', if you would just show a sign 

Of love, I could bear any loss

 

Take me to Siberia

And the coldest weather of the winter time

And it would be just like spring in California

As long as I knew you were mine...
