Hold Out Your Hand

Now as I hold you Here in my memories Lost in all the times we've shared together Once when forever Held dreams we treasured Dreams, that through time we would build together You are my one love Hearts beat as one love Now as i wait to feel your hand in mine and Wait for me there love Hold out your hand love Alas, I'll take your hand in mine As I lay here and life no longer holds me tight I wait for you to come And guide me there to where you are so we can dance among the moon and stars, then (Bridge) Gently I'll kiss you Darling I've missed you Longing to hold you in my arms again, as Thoughts of you fill me Your spirit lives through me You took my heart when you went away Now as I hold you Here in my memories Lost in all the times we've shared together I hear you whisper Softly you call me Yearning, to feel your arms around me You are my one love First and my last love Now, as I wait to feel your hand in mine and Wait for me there love Hold out your hand love A breath ... and I'll take your hand in mine As I lay here and life no longer holds me tight I wait for you to come And guide me there to where you are so we can dance among the moon and stars (Bridge) Now as I'm slipping Life inside me fading Knowing your spirit's here beside me darling I feel your hand love Your kiss on my lips love At last ... you wipe my tears away .... away (softly) ______________________________________________ February 11, 2018 Written for "Fun With Lyrics" Contest Sponsor: Craig Cornish To be sung to the tune of "Chance Encounter" by Kevin Kern

Judith, I love it. Pitch it to LA & N'ville. Just a suggestion Maybe change the title to...Now As I Hold You. Very very good song lyric!

This is how lyrics are supposed to be done. Almost like you've been doing this forever (not easy). A truly wonderful love song.
