Lyrics
Hold, soft, still, so lovely,
So lovely,
Hold, strength, will you love me?
Will you love me tonight?
Show me, won't you show me all the ways to look at love?
So slowly, as I listen to your words become enough...
Sift me through the sand and watch me cascade through your hands, I want to fill your hourglasses 'til the time stands still forever...
But only for tonight, I know it's not right to lie.
But I wish that everyone around me was a fool,
Then I'd be the best at all the things I do.
Well, I'll make just one exception just for you to...
Hold, soft, still, so lovely,
So lovely,
Hold, strength, will you love me?
Will you love me tonight?
Hold soft as a children's book when you find out all the love you took is gone, long gone.
You hold hope like a wishing well, though it's always seemed so wrong, so wrong...
That I wish that everyone around me was a fool,
Then I'd be the best at all the things I do.
Well, I'll throw a penny in it just for you to...
Hold, soft, still, so lovely,
So lovely,
Hold, strength, will you love me?
Will you love me tonight?
