Hold Me Close

[Verse 1]

I trace the lines upon your hand

Like maps to some forgotten land

Where every scar and every crease

Is a quiet prayer that brings me peace.

The world outside is cold and loud

A heavy, unforgiving cloud

But in the quiet of this room

You chase away the darkest gloom.

[Chorus]

Oh, hold me close and don't let go

In this fragile life, it's all I know.

Your heartbeat is the only sound

That lifts my spirit off the ground.

And in your eyes, I see the truth,

The beautiful echoes of our youth

Still burning bright, a steady flame,

Forever whispering my name.

[Verse 2]

The shadows lengthen on the wall,

But in your arms, I cannot fall.

A million words could not express

The shelter of your tenderness.

I’ve wandered far through barren years

And spilled my share of bitter tears,

But every road I stumbled down

Has led me to the love I've found.

[Chorus]

Oh, hold me close and don't let go

In this fragile life, it's all I know.

Your heartbeat is the only sound

That lifts my spirit off the ground.

And in your eyes, I see the truth,

The beautiful echoes of our youth

Still burning bright, a steady flame,

Forever whispering my name.

[Bridge]

When storms collide and skies turn gray,

You wash the looming doubts away.

A gentle touch, a whispered vow—

We have forever, starting now.

Through every fading, golden sun,

Our beating hearts will beat as one.

[Big Chorus]

So hold me close and don't let go

In this fragile life, it's all I know.

Your heartbeat is the only sound

That lifts my spirit off the ground.

And in your eyes, I see the truth,

The beautiful echoes of our youth

Still burning bright, a steady flame,

Forever whispering my name.

[Outro]

Forever whispering my name...

In your arms, I'll always stay.

My love, my light, my only way.
