I WANT TO HOLD YOU


I want to hold you in my arms while you sleep
I want to hold you while you creep into your dreams so deep
with you next to me everything feels so right
I want to hold you all through the night

I want to hold you 'till the moon stops shining through
I want to hold you 'till there is no morning dew
I want to hold you 'till the sun turns blue
I want to hold you 'till one and one is no longer two

I want to hold you 'till the mountains turn to hills
I want to hold you 'till time stands still
I want to hold you 'till hell gets cold
I want to hold you 'till the truth be told

I want to hold you whether you're wrong or right
I want to hold you whenever we fight
I want to hold you 'till the anger is gone
I want to hold you 'till you sing your song

I want to hold you when you're blue and sad
I want to hold you when things make you mad
I want to hold you whenever you cry
so I can dry your tears from your eyes

I want to hold you whether it's early or late
I want to hold you 'till the birds and bees no longer mate
I want to hold you and never be alone
I want to hold you 'till the swallows of Capistrano no longer come home

I want to hold you 'till the cock no longer crows
I want to hold you 'till the farmers no longer reap what they sew
I want to hold you 'till eternity is near
I want to hold you 'till there is no fear

I want to hold you 'till there's no stars in the sky
I want to hold you 'till the birds no longer fly
I want to hold you 'till there are no clouds up above
I want to hold you 'till you say you're in love
