lyrics

You may be a thousand miles away from me,
over mountains through the sky beyond the sea,
but your heart is here inside of me

Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me
Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me
Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me

Every wind that whispers sings your name to me
Every wave that crashes plays a melody
Every night I tell you in a dream

Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me
Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me
Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me

Over mountains, through the sky, you come to me
Only for a moment you are here with me
Sweet and fine and while we've got the time
Rest your little heart inside of mine
In this place where love and peace abide

Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me
Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me
Hold to me, hold to me, hold to me

Rest your little heart inside of mine
In this place where love and peace abide
