Holding on
As only a lover can
I feel him slipping
Right through my hands
I've got to let him go
I've got to let it be
I've got to let him find
Some peace of mind
As only a lover
As only a lover
As only a lover
Only a lover can
We're on stolen time
It's not ours to keep
Now lay in my arms
And try to sleep
Put your trust in God
Give your hand to Fate
We've got to hope and pray
We've got to watch and wait
As only a lover
Only a lover
Only a lover
Only a lover can
Only love can bring such joy and leave such pain
Only love can take so much and still remain
Only love can die and we come back again and take us were we've never been
Only love
Only love
Only love
Only a lover can
Only a lover
Only a lover
Only a lover
Only a lover can
Oooh...
