Lyrics
Verse:
Long years ago I handed to you my heart, my soul, my life.
That which was two, together as one;
Time started for me that night.
Though you may not have known it, sometimes I?ve not shown it,
I?ve treasured each moment we shared.
What I asked then, I?m asking again,
Hold tightly the things I?ve placed in your care.
Chorus:
Don?t trip you?re holding my heart. Don?t falter and fall.
Never waiver, never wander, I?ll be with you wherever you are.
Watch closely where you are going.
Be careful the things that you hear.
I meant to tell you right from the start,
Don?t stumble, don?t trip, you are holding my heart.
Verse:
I?m holding yours too and I admit, I?ve bruised it time and again.
But I promise to you, I?ll press it to me, more close than it?s ever been.
You?ve always been better at taking good care of the things entrusted to you
But I need to say, move through this day
With patience and care, whatever you do.
Chorus:
Don?t trip you?re holding my heart. Don?t falter and fall.
Never waiver, never wander, I?ll be with you wherever you are.
Watch closely where you are going.
Be careful the things that you hear.
I meant to tell you right from the start,
Don?t stumble, don?t trip, you are holding my heart.
