Hold Her Closer

I need to hold her closer so she won't go away. I try to hold her closer with each 
and every day. If she left, my world would come crashing down around me. There 
is no hope if she's gone. There is no love without her. I cherish her, my precious 
gift. I'm going to hold her closer so she wants to stay. I'm going to hold her closer 
so she won't push me away. If I hold her closer, perhaps our hearts can't drift 
apart. Losing her would be too hard to bear. Without her, I just won't care about 
myself anymore. So I'm going to hold her closer so that we're okay. I'm going to 
hold her closer so that she'll stay here with me. I'm going to hold her closer for 
the world to see, that she means more than the world to me.
