Holding On

I want to be there to hold her
as she sleeps peacefully next to me
I'll whisper in her ear very softly
that there is nowhere I would rather be

I want to be there to hold her
if she has a bad dream some night
To comfort and to soothe her so she knows 
that everything is going to be all right

I want to be there to hold her
just to hold her as close as she can be
that's when  the world simply fades away
I wonder if she knows that the holding of her 
is just as much for me
