Story Behind The Song
The old love letters are discovered and you realize you should have burnt them. Before your present lover storms out of the room, you let them know how you feel. How no one in the past felt as right and good as they do. Before you met this present lover, you couldn't make love last. The song is about how good and right the present love situation is.

Lyrics
When I Hold You
You found some letters I forgot I had
I guess I should have burned them, swept way my past
Before you storm out, I?ve got something to say
Feel my arms around you and let me explain
Nobody ever felt as good as this
Nobody had the same long slow kisses and
Nobody ever made me feel as complete as you do
When I hold you close to me
Love has led me down some dead-end streets
Sometimes I?ve worried that love had me beat
I?ve learned alot from the things I?ve been through
That?s what it took just to get me to you
(Chorus)
You hold me so tight, I never wanna shake loose
When I?m away, all I ever think of is you
I love the fire; I love the chemistry
I love how strong I feel when you?re next to me
I?m just like anyone, I?ve had a past
Up until you I couldn?t make love last
(Chorus)
Nobody ever possessed me
Nobody eve caressed me
Nobody ever made me feel as complete as you do
When I hold you close to me
