Then You Held Me Close

Sometimes the best things in life come late,
The day I found you was well worth the wait,
When you looked at me, I could plainly see,
It was love you could give my darling to me.

Then you held me close,
Like I’ve never been held before,
You whispered the words to me,
You are the one I do adore.
And you held me tight,
You held me all through the night,
because you loved me,
From the moment your eyes could see.

I understood, some things are worth the wait,
Even though they appear to come to us late,
When you looked at me, I could plainly see,
It was love my darling you could give to me.

Then I realized, it was a love to hold,
As you whispered the words I’ve been told,
When you looked at me, I could plainly see,
It was true love, you could give darling to me.

Then you held me close,
Like I’ve never been held before,
You whispered the words to me,
You are the one I do adore.
Then you held me tight,
You held me all through the night,
Because you loved me,
From the moment your eyes could see.
