I Want You To Hold Me

 (For Tessa)        

Our love is so right

When I'm holding you close in the night

and recalling shared feelings of love

As I draw you near

You're so soft to my touch

Oh, I love you my darling so much

and this feeling of happiness flows

through my veins, heaven knows

I want you to hold me

I want you to touch me

I want you to know me girl

In your own special way

When I think of the time

When you said you would always be mine

I can't hold back this feeling of joy

As I draw you near

I awake to the day

With my sleepiness falling away

I feel good just to know you are there

And you'll always love me

I want you to hold me

I want you to touch me

I want you to know me girl

In you own special way
