Years Wash Away
In my heart
I hold a love.
That years
may never wash
away nor parch.
In golden years.
In my heart
I hold a love.

Lost Love Devalued
“In my heart I held a love
that tears could never wash away
nor parch in golden years.
In my heart
I held a love.”
Tumultuous torrent tears
could never wash away.
Nor parch petulant
in softly setting golden years.
My heart you shattered
my love you splattered.
In your moody quivering quest
for ever more material possessions.
Now you walk silent streets
in search of ever elusive love.

Might Be Your Love
Written by dewey bunnell, 1980
Found on alibi.
Sometimes when youre there all alone
Someone will call you at home
You dont want to but pick up the phone
Might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Someone who you thought would belong
Came passing, moved right along
You dont know why but something went wrong
Might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Someone to hold you, someone to hold
Someone to hold you, someone to hold
Some girl who you watched at her desk
Came dancing on with her dress
And she looked up and wouldnt you guess
She might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
(someone to hold you)
Might be your love (someone to hold)
Might be your heart (someone to hold you)
Might be your love (someone to hold)
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark ...

Ain't That A Lot Of Love (feat. Simply Red)
Words and music by Willa Dean Parker and Homer Banks
I know the desert cant hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you, yeah
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are, Baby
They would seal up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet
Honey, youre my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just cant compare
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldnt need a fire
I cant think of a word that describes your love better
Than the sky above
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Yeah
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Oh thats a lot of love
Lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
For one heart to hold
For one heart to hold

Love Has A Hold On Me
I have found a perfect mystery
Love has a hold on me
Long before my life had come to be
Love had a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
Where do I come from
Where does life mean
Is it not to know the one who made me
As Im looking down the road ahead
Love has a hold on me
Someday when I breathe my dying breath
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
Where will I go
When this life is through
Back into the light that made me and you
Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
I dont have answers to all the questions
Running inside of my mind
But I cant help believe that
Understanding comes in time
Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
If I run, if I hide, I know inside
Your love has a hold on me
Tell me yes, tell me no, my heart will follow
Your love has a hold on me
If I run, if I hide
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Hold on me

And I Finally Realize
The other day
I came to the conclusion
And it's not an illusion
You are the only man
That I ever loved
Years ago many years ago
We were both young
Neither of us
Really knew a thing about love
It took for me to be
With others to see
How much you meant to me
To realize that none of them
Can hold a candle to you
Or do the things that you do
Even though we have both moved on
The love that I have for you still lives on
In my heart you will always
Hold a special place
Your name has a special space
Even if we never see
One other again
Every memory will always
Live in my heart and mind
Forever and always until the end of time

When can I hold you, hold you, hold you in my arms
Tell me when
Tell me when
When can I love you, love you
The way I wanna do

Show me that tomorrow is my day

Hold me since tomorrow's far away
When can I hold you, hold you, hold you in my arms

About you and me
Everything we did will
Stay in our memory
So along so last in the dark
And you will ever placed in my heart
When can I hold you
When can I love you
Kiss you I gotta live my love without you
Now is time to be telling you the truth
Girl my love is JUST FOR YOU!
Do it to me
Only one more time
Touch me hold me
Let your heart be mine
Take me back in time
Make me forget
Turn the world over
Never would it met
You said the words
That I love to hear
Here was star shining bright
When you are near
You all of my heart
We will never be apart

Hold Back
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Now when we started - no interventions
I wanted everything with no conditions
You took my love and told it to the world
But now it really changes things
The ring you wear belongs to someone else
Somebody else and my heart keeps saying
Hold back - hold back your love
Baby its just a crazy thing to start
Hold back - hold back your love
Maybe its just the easy way to part
Hold back - hold back (hold back, hold back...)
No denials - no introspection
Im not competing for some true perfection
I wanted something thats fine and thats for sure
And now I wonder how she feels
cos in her heart she knows theres someone else
Somebody else and I hear her saying
Hold back - hold back your love
Baby its just a crazy thing to start
Hold back - hold back your love
Maybe its just the easy way to part
Hold back - hold back
Hold back (hold back)
Hold back your love
Hold back (hold back)
Hold back your love
(baby...) hold back (hold back)
Hold back your love
Baby its just a crazy thing to start
Baby its just a crazy thing
You gotta hold back - hold back your love
(hold back) - hold back your love
(hold back) - you gotta hold back your love
(ooh) you gotta hold back your love
(ooh) hold back your love
Hold back (hold back)
(ooh)

Hold back

The one I love
The one I love
~
It is to my heart I hold her
and call her beautiful
it is in my thoughts I love her
daily without doubt
a blessing to my soul
I pray to grow old with her
and celebrate many years
these are the little things
that make life worth living
to love and be loved
to know such sweet joy
it is to my heart I hold her
in the warmth of new memory
each tender kiss taken
is never to be forgot
amid one lasting thought
she is the one
the one I love

I Hold A Heart
I carry a heart with me here
Never in vengeance, anger or fear
Only love comes from the heart I hold
No betrayal, fear or anger, so I'm told
I've held this heart for many years
Threw the anger heart ache and tears
Beside the troubles that lie ahead
I will hold this heart instead

If I Could Hold On To Love
Just once in my life
If I could find someone, if once
The feeling was right
I'd never let her go.
I'd always be there
If I could have my chance to be
The only one
Iy just isn't fair.
Chorus:
If I could hold on to love
I'd never let it go
I'd keep it right next to my heart.
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love.
I'm searching my dreams
I'm trying to recognize that face,
Oh, who can it be?
She's calling out to me and now.
I'm running to her
But everytime I get this close
She vanishes
Inyo the night.
Chorus:
If I could hold on to love
I'd never let it go
I'd keep it right next to my heart.
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love.
Is it ever come to pass
That I find a love that lasts
Or is that too much to ask?
If I could hold her tonight
She'd never leave my side
If I could only hold on to love
If I could only hold on to love.

Hold On To Me
I wanna know what you dream, oh baby
Am I one with your fantasy
I wanna show you my deepest feelings
Aint that how loves supposed to be
Give me love hold on to me
Give me love hold on to me
Give me dreams hold on
...oh baby, give it up
Give me heart hold on to me
Give me soul hold on to me
Give me your smile hold on
...oh baby, give it all
I had enough of bad luck, oh baby,
All those nights that I cant replace
But none of the love in my past can claim me
Others go but you dont fade away
Give me love hold on to me
Give me love hold on to me
Give me dreams hold on
...oh baby, give it up
Give me heart hold on to me
Give me soul hold on to me
Give me your life hold on
...oh baby, give it all
I know in my heart its real
Know this is love I feel
If something aint right just say so baby
Dont let go...dont stay away...stay with me
Give me love hold on to me
Give me hope hold on to me
Give me dreams hold on
...oh baby, give it up
Give me heart hold on to me
Give me soul hold on to me
Give me your smile hold on
...oh baby, give it all

Hold On To Your Love
Hold on to your love
Hold on to your love
Though you may feel tired and blue.
The things you say,
The things you dream you might do,
Come true if you
Hold on to your love.
How long the day?
How dark the night spent apart?
Is this the way to learn?
Go your own way
Although you may break a heart
Dont let it start
Hold on to your love.
Hold on to your love.
Hold on to your love.
The things you say,
The things you dream you might do,
If only you hold on to your love.
Hold on to your love.

To Have And To Hold
As the seasons go circlin', and the years spin away
And the highway grows narrow, at the end of the day
There's a promise I made you, on the first day of spring
To have and to hold, this gold wedding ring
To have and to hold, 'till death do us part
In sickness or health, with all the love in my heart
For richer, for poorer, 'till we both have grown old
Through all of life's seasons, to have and to hold
And if we can have children, or live all alone
The light of our love, will forever be shown
Our union is timeless, our love beyond worth
To have and to hold, 'till the ends of the earth
To have and to hold, 'till death do us part
In sickness or health, with all the love in my heart
For richer, for poorer, 'till we both have grown old
Through all of life's seasons, to have and to hold
Through all of life's seasons, to have and to hold

Til' The Last Drop
My pen has only a little ink before it is dry, but my heart still has many more words to say. So I will write until my heart has no more words to say or ’til the last drop.
My dear sweet love;
It has been several years since my eyes have had the pleasure of seeing your beautiful face, or my arms the pleasure of feeling your warm embrace.
But I’d like you to know ‘til the last tear dropp falls
from my eyes, in my heart your love will lie.
‘Til the last dropp of love leaves my heart, you and I will never part.
‘Til the last dropp of compassion is drained from my soul, in my arms you I will forever hold.
It has been several years since you been out my life, and even through you’re in heaven you’re still my wife.
Well, my love the words are starting to fade, but not because my heart has no more to say, but my pen is going dry.
But before the last dropp I’d like you to know I will love you ‘til the day I die.
Hold On
I can make
Any man do whatever it takes
Yet I hesitate
Sit em down and wine and dine
And make it plain
Theres more to love (more to love)
Than makin love
If I can wait
Then why cant you my, my, my, my love
Chorus:
Theres more to love than makin love
So why dont you just hold on
Theres a time for everything
But Ive got to know
Hold on to love (hold on to love)
Hold on to love (hold on to love)
Hold on to love (hold on to love)
Hold on to love
Its no too late
To slow it down, settle down
And appreciate
All the love
Im showing you
And givin you in other ways
Soon enough my heart will say
To you I do to love always
Ill give myself to you that day
Oh my baby
Oh yeah yeah yeah
I dont wanna be another one (another one)
So that you can say that you had your fun (no no no no)
Ill show you Im worth the wait (worth the weight)
Just hold on to everyday (everyday)
And we will know how far to go in time

Hold on to love (hold on to love)
Hold on to love (hold on to love)
Hold on to love (hold on to love)

You Really Got A Hold On Me
You've Really Got A Hold On Me
(W. 'Smokey' Robinson)
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems like I'm always thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
I don't want you,
But I need you
Don't wanna kiss you
But I need you
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
I love you and all that I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Don't wanna leave you
don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, I just don't fit now
I just can quit now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

Hold On Hold Out
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on strong
The moneys in and the bets are down
You wont hold out long
They say youll fall in no time at all
But you know theyre wrong
Known it all along
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on still
If you dont see what your love is worth
No one ever will
Youve done your time on the bottom line
And it aint no thrill
Theres got to be something more
Keep a hold on still
You know what it is youre waiting for
Now you just hold on
Hold on hold out, hold on
Give up your heart and you lose your way
Trusting another to feel that way
Give up your heart and you find yourself
Living for something in somebody else
Sometimes you wonder what happens to love
Sometimes the touch of a friend is enough
Hold a place for the human race
Keep it open wide
Give it time to fall or climb
But let the time decide
Sometimes you wonder whats in this for you
But you wait, and you see
cause its all you can do
Just to hold on
Hold on hold out, hold on
For the countless souls beaten by their goals
Keep a hold on now
And the ones betrayed by the deals they made
Keep a hold on
If you hold your ground itll turn around
Keep a hold somehow
Hold on hold out, keep a hold on tight
Tonights the night
Wake up and turn on the light
You fight, and youre right--
Its gonna take all your might...
Youre a hold out
Well Im a hold out too
But it took me all this time to figure out
Something you already knew
Will love be true? can it pull you through?
How long? how strong?
Somethings depend on you
See-- I always figured I was going to meet somebody here
And I dont know why
Why should love come down and suddenly just sweep me away
I want to fly
But there are so many things in my way
Anyway...
I guess you wouldnt know unless I told you
But...
I love you
Well just look at yourself--
What else would I do?
Hold on--
