[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
