I WANT TO HOLD YOU

I WANT TO HOLD YOU

I want to hold you in my arms while you sleep.

I want to hold you while you slip 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 sow.

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're 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.
