Lyrics for “I Look to You” by Whitney Houston
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
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
Yeah
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song
I look to you, you
About to lose my breath,
There’s no more fighting left,
I’m sinking to rise no more,
Searching for that open door, door
Every road that I’ve taken
Lead to my regret.
I don’t know if I’m going to make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone,
In you I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone,
In you I hear a song
I look to you
