Hard as a diamond's eye

Soft as a last goodbye

These are the things we learn to be

Calm as a distant light

That shines on an island night

These are the thoughts that say:

It's not too late to tell you,

I know I wanna tell you

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna be there to catch you from falling

Cold as the arctic ice

Hot as a passion's rise

These are the days I spend alone

Pure as an infant's heart

That beats through the light and dark

These are the pictures of you

Always getting closer

I wanna hold you closer

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna be there to catch you from falling

I only wish my heart

Could fly like it does

When I sit and dream

I'll never wake again

As I hold you tenderly

My thoughts were real

And being with you now is the only

thought that's strong,

It's a lonely night, and I'm trying

to hold on...

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna be there when love starts calling

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna be there to catch you from falling
