Hold The Heart

The sun beats hard on an empty beach where I tried so hard

But couldn't reach the stars in your eyes

You were just a child when I came to you and we were friends

'Till love stepped in, and you stepped away

I would lie and curse the day

And visit places where we lay alone

And find them turned to stone

Because you hold the heart of someone new

I'll take a chance on time

Hold out here for something true

Standing out of line

But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name

The way you did before he came, the way you will again

I fell apart and you came to me

I never can explain how much it turned me round

Much more than upside down

Because you hold the heart of someone new

I'll take a chance on time

Hold out here for something true

Standing out of line

But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name

The way you did before he came, the way you will again

And I love the sun, and I need the rain

And I know the way that you left me was only to test me

And I was vain

And I will be strong

And I will be warm

And I will let no one come near me until you will hear me

Just once again

And time will wear a mountain down

And make a lover of the clown who laughed too long

And colored you wrong

Now I hold the heart of someone new

I'll take a chance on time

Hold out here for something true

Standing out of line

But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name

The way you did before he came, the way you will again

But I would wait a hundred years to hear you say my name

The way you did before he came, the way you will again
