Hold Back Time

WHEN YOU FIND A RARE LOVE
SPECIAL AND TRUE
THAT SEEMS TO KEEP
AND ENTHRALL YOU

HOW DO YOU KEEP
HOW DO YOU HOLD
WHISPERS AND BUTTERFLIES
CLOSE TO YOUR SIDE

PERFUME AND AFTER SHAVE
BLEND INTO ONE
LOVE ON A BEACH
BASK IN THE SUN

HOLD BACK TOMORROW
WITH DREAMS OF TODAY
HOLD BACK THE CURTAIN
THAT ENDS THE PLAY

INHALE THE DAY
INHALE THE MEMORY
BREATHE IT IN DEEPLY
REFRESH YOUR SWEET SOUL

HOW TO HOLD TIME
WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY
HOW TO GO ON
TIME MARCHES ON

SWEET IS THE IMAGE
ADORNED WITH BEAUTY
HOLD HER CLOSELY
THIS MOMENT MAY PASS
