Written and performed by John Bahler. I wrote this song when I was teaching in the Dominican Republic and my girlfriend was in the States. The mountains and skies and seas in the song are more literal than they appear.
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
