There's two suitcases hid back in the closet
Packed for much more than a few days stay
And in her purse, there's several thousand dollars
Years of saving for one rainy day

It scares her half to death to think of leaving
She's never been out on her own before
Too many nights, she's cried while he was sleepin'
Oh but she's not sure he loves her any more

All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
Tell her how he feels down deep inside
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
There's no way she would ever leave his side

To him, she's always been a special angel
And so much more than he thought he deserved
Oh how was she to know all he's been feeling
When he could never put it into words?

He was so afraid one day she'd walk out on him
He knows he's just a plain and simple man (yes, he is)
He could easily tear down that wall between them
Everything he needs to keep her's in his hands

All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
Tell her how he feels down deep inside
All he has to do to hold her is to hold her
There's no way she would ever leave his side
Maybe he'll wake up in time to hold me
