[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I went out to buy you flowers If only CVS carried beauty like your own I arrived and you found me empty-handed But I still found your arms are open wide at home When I first saw you smiling I wondered if one day your smile would be for me I had doubts, but I couldn't shake the feeling And I still waited for the time to come around [Chorus] When you hold me close I feel the world shifting into gear My heart returns And your tenderness melts away my fear When you hold me close When you hold mе close [Verse 2] I take you up to the watеr tower If only we could see this far on the road ahead At night I find I toss and turn Dreaming of your return But your feelings take some time And we are almost there [Chorus] When you hold me close I feel the world shifting into gear My heart returns And your tenderness melts away my fear I'm so glad it's you I'm so glad it's you [Bridge] I know I've got my questions I know you've got your fears But we don't need the answers Just to be right here I know you've got your questions And oh, I've got my fears But we don't need the answers Just to be right here [Chorus] When you hold me close I feel the world shifting into gear My heart returns And your tenderness melts away my fear I'm so glad it's you [Interlude] We don't need the answers Just to be right here Just to be right here Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm [Chorus] And your tenderness melts away my fear I'm so glad it's you When you hold me close When you hold me close
