Here I've loved you for so many years

I still want to hold you

Tho' I've seen all your weaknesses and fears

I still want to hold you



In those awkward phases, that we tend to go thru

I still want to hold you

When I seem very distant and there's no talking to me

I still want to hold you



You, you love me for myself

You see things as they are

And with you there's nothing to trying

No deception or lying

I've come to rely on you



So we're getting older and we've looked much better

I still want to hold you

Well we'll only see what we care to remember

I still want to hold you



When we're sitting in the twilight, taking things slower

I'll still want to hold you

'Til my last breath, when the lights begin to lower

I'll still want to hold you



You, you love me for myself

You see things as they are

And with you there's nothing to trying

No deception or lying

I've come to rely on you



You, you love me for myself

You see things as they are

And with you there's nothing to trying

No deception or lying

I've come to rely on you
