I went out to buy you flowers
If only CVS carried beauty like your own
I arrived and you found me empty-handed
But I still found your arms are open wide at home
When I first saw you smiling
I wondered if one day your smile would be for me
I had doubts, but I couldn't shake the feeling
And I still waited for the time to come around

When you hold me close
I feel the world shifting into gear
My heart returns
And your tenderness melts away my fear
When you hold me close
When you hold me close

I take you up to the water tower
If only we could see this far on the road ahead
At night I find I toss and turn
Dreaming of your return
But your feelings take some time
And we are almost there

When you hold me close
I feel the world shifting into gear
My heart returns
And your tenderness melts away my fear
I'm so glad it's you
I'm so glad it's you

I know I've got my questions
I know you've got your fears
But we don't need the answers
Just to be right here
I know you've got your questions
And oh, I've got my fears
But we don't need the answers
Just to be right here

When you hold me close
I feel the world shifting into gear
My heart returns
And your tenderness melts away my fear
I'm so glad it's you

We don't need the answers
Just to be right here
Just to be right here
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

And your tenderness melts away my fear
I'm so glad it's you
When you hold me close
When you hold me close
