Lyrics
YOU HOLD ME NEAR
If I had a word
For every look
I would write
The world's greatest book
It's a remedy
I have yet to find
Since our destinies
Have fallen behind
I 'am the dream that you wanted
(You hold me near)
I 'am the dream that you fear
(you hold me near)
You are the dream that is haunted
You hold me near
You hold me near
You hold me near
If I had a brick
For every date
I would build
the rode to heaven's gate
In your misery
You've laid down the line
Now I see
I've wasted my time
I 'am the dream that you wanted
(You hold me near)
I 'am the dream that you fear
(you hold me near)
You are the dream that is haunted
You hold me near
You hold me near
You hold me near
You hold me near
Still hold me near
I gave you everything
I gave you love
I gave you everything
And you pushed me down
It's a mystery
How you captured my mind
You are on your knees
I 'm no longer blind
I 'am the dream that you wanted
(You hold me near)
I 'am the dream that you fear
(you hold me near)
You are the dream that is haunted
You hold me near
You hold me near
You hold me near
I 'am the dream that you wanted
(You hold me near)
I 'am the dream that you fear
(You hold me near)
You are the dream that is haunted
You hold me near
You hold me near
Still hold me near
Still hold me near
Still hold me near
