The Beginning of Our Love

The hapless darkened hours approach,
The storm came from the backdoor.
The first cold drops of rain arrive,
Let’s seek shelter once more.
Why should we be afraid?

          Ref      Just hold my hand, Luv,
                     Just hold my hand.
                     I ask for nothing more, luv,
                    Just hold my hand,
                     As tight as you need.

I’m not askin’ anything bright,
I’m not asking for more.
You gave me what we deemed is right,
I ask for nothin’ more.
Still, I’m afraid we’ll get wet.

        Ref    Just hold my hand, Luv,
                 Just hold my hand.
                 I ask for nothing more, luv,
                 Just hold my hand,
                 As tight as you need.


Oh that the blessed calm would return,
You might ask for some more,
I’ll give you back what you deem right,
Whatever that may be,
I am afraid no more.

         Ref     Just hold my hand, Luv,
                   Just hold my hand.
                   I ask for nothing more, luv,
                   Just hold my hand,
                   As tight as you need.

A tender and heartfelt piece, your refrain carries such warmth and reassurance. It beautifully shows how love finds its strength in the simplest of gestures: just holding hands.

A great song. It would be nice if you could put it to music the way people like Jerry, Maria and Crystol do!

Very nicely done, Victor. When not alone, most everything seems more manageable. We need a world a little more together, and life would be easier for all. Great message, Victor.
