Lyrics

it's easy to say that you're okay
but so hard to hope when life hurts you
it's easy to say you'll be in heaven someday
but so hard to get through the night
but I'll hold on to the hem of your robe
I'll keep asking and never let go

as long as you want me
as long as you'll have me here
I will come to you, my love
I've longed for this moment all of my life
now that it's here I don't know what to do
but I'm holding on to you

it was easy to say when my father went away
it's okay, I'll get through this somehow
life without him though, is a different road
and my heart is still grieving inside
but I'll hold on to the hem of your robe
I'll keep asking and never let go

Being with you makes me alright
even when the clouds and the rain are covering my life
I'll cling to you for dear life
and keep hoping through the storm

As long as you want me
as long as you'll have me here
I will come to you, my love
As long as my heart wakes
as long as each day breaks my love
I will run to you oh love
I've longed for this moment
longed for your heartbeat
longed for your loving arms
I've longed for this moment
all of my life
now that it's here, I don't know what to do
but I'm holding on to you
I'm still holding on to you
I'll keep holding on to you
