If I could hold your hand forever,
I would never be afraid
You’d be careless with my heart;
You would never let it break.

If your arms would pull me close
In an embrace I’ve never felt before,
You’d spark a fire within my soul;
You’d be all that I adore.

If you would kiss my lips,
Slow and soft to begin,
I’d give all of my love to you;
I could forget all about him.

If you were mine to keep,
We could endure whatsoever.
We could achieve true love,
If I could hold your hand forever.
