I Will Hold You

I will never let you down, I'll catch you when you fall But I may have to walk away, so I can be there when you call I can't promise you the dream come true, as much as I have tried We both know those dreams must come from you But I will hold you if you need to cry I will hold you if you need to cry Please understand that when it hurts too much I must pull away, but if you search inside you'll feel my touch And sense that connection that we made Because even though I may be gone, my heart has never strayed And I will hold you if you need to cry I will hold you if you ned to cry I won't ask you the reasons why We don't even have to speak If you need someone to understand Then, baby, come to me Reach out for a loving hand Who will never ask for more Than the trust you once had in me When we once loved before There will be times you cannot see me, hiding in your shadow But I am here for you if you should need me, I hope you know Please don't misunderstand my pain as anger, neither is it pride It's just sometimes it's too much to take and keep it all inside But I will hold you if you need to cry I will hold you if you need to cry For now, in silence, I must wait, and hope and pray for you To find the happiness that you seek, when all your dreams come true Know that when you shine, I will be there, watching you stand tall And should you ever stumble, I will still catch you when you fall And I will hold you if you need to cry I will hold you if you need to cry And I don't even need to know the reasons why...
