Echo of us

Sit down, my dear And hear me now

How light and shadow

Dance across our day

For love is beautiful

A sudden summer warmth

A song the angels sing

Then leaves a tender hurt

When I first saw your face

The world grew still and clear

A quiet storm inside me

Swept away my fear

Your hands were warm and grounding

A safe and steady shore

Your eyes held every promise

I kept praying for

In every whispered sentence

In every soft goodnight

We built a little kingdom

Inside the golden light

I thought we were frozen In a moment made of glass

But time can turn so cruel And trouble still can pass

Love me like you used to love me Love me like you used to love me

Hold me like you used to hold me

I just want you to hold me

Kiss me like you used to kiss me

Kiss me like you used to kiss me

I just want you to love me

I just want you to hold me

Love asks for a payment It takes and takes again

To open up your spirit

Is to welcome in the wind

The same hand that can heal you

Can leave you in the dark

The pain is just the mirror

Of a beating heart

I learned how to bleed

When harsh words flew astray

Ilearned how to mend it

When the light began to gray

Yet even through the hurting

Through the sharp and stinging tear

I would not trade one moment

I held you close and near

The fear of losing touch

The heavy weight of sorrow

The quiet doubts that haunt us And steal from tomorrow

But beauty in our story Is not the sun above

It's standing through the tempest

For the sacred gift of love

Love me like you used to love me Love me like you used to love me Hold me like you used to hold me

I just want you to hold me

Kiss me like you used to kiss me

Kiss me like you used to kiss me

I just want you to love me

I just want you to hold me

Fragile and fierce

Sweet and severe

Bitter, honeyed wine

Pulled me so near

A strange and holy mixture Of pain and light

If I must choose it all again

I'd choose this night

Love me like you used to love me Love me like you used to love me

Hold me like you used to hold me

I just want you to hold me

I just want you to hold me

I just want you to love me

To love me to love meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
