lyrics

Hold me close when you let me in
I’ve got a beating heart that burns within
There’s a war out here and it’s getting colder
And I’m standing in my white T-shirt

To the beauty in you well I was blind
Now to you I’d give all my time
And all my money and all my bread
For another night with you in bed

Now I’m looking all around and what do I see?
I see the whole wide world just waiting for me
Yeah this beating heart needs company
And there’s no one around who compares with thee

Now hold me close and don’t let go
I’ve got a beating heart that burns for you
I thought I found God but he eludes
And I know I’ll find him again in you
