Holding

Holding

    I must have tried a thousand times to sing a song for 
you.
    The melody was not quite right; the words did not ring 
true.
    Darling, should I sing off key, should I play out of 
tune,
    Your eyes are kind, you smile for me. You say I'll get 
it soon.

    All through my life I've been waiting to see
    If someone like you was waiting for me.
    All I may do and all I may dream
    Pale at our being when you're holding me
    And I'm holding you.

    I spent another restless night at home here in my room
    Praying for a ray of peace, my spirit grained with 
gloom.
    How we seem to struggle with things we can't undo.
    I grapple with forgive/forget; my heart cries out for 
you.

    All of my life I've been waiting to see
    If someone like you was waiting for me.
    All I may dream and all I may do
    Pale at our being when I'm holding you
    And you're holding me.

    I must have tried a thousand times to sing a song for 
you…
