[Verse 1]
Oh my Lord, is it a miracle?
That I've fallen down your river twice
First it was your presence
Now it is the gift of the beauty of your favorite flower
Am I dancing with a Kentucky rose
Only few have ever got to hold?
There's a mystery to her being
That has drawn me into the full ground of angelic flow

[Chorus]
Holding you close to me tonight
Holding you close to me tonight
Forever in my arms is where you'll always be

[Verse 2]
I have drift into the heaven realm
For the marvel of your moonlit glow
Oh darling, don't you know
You ain't gotta do much just to be the one I want to hold?
There's no words that I could ever say
To make clearer 'bout the way I feel
Still your beauty fills the silence of a thousand years
[?] wash over up against your face

[Chorus]
Holding you close to me tonight
Holding you close to me tonight
Forever in my arms is where you'll always be

[Verse 3]
Oh honey, won't you come on down
To the river where we both we're found?
On the shore I see reflections of a painted scene
To hearts that want to beat as one
Won't you tell me about your fallen stars
And the one's that I ain't never seen
Well, I know you ain't a wisher
But just pull one down and make it for you and me

[Chorus]
Holding you close to me tonight
Holding you close to me tonight
Forever in my arms is where you'll always be

Holding you close to me tonight
Holding you close to me tonight
Forever in my arms is where you'll always be
Forever in my arms is where you'll always be
Forever in my arms is where you'll always be
