[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
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
