Holding You (lyrics for male singer)


I used to think about the woman of my dreams,

Would her eyes be brown, blue, or green,

Would she be short, or maybe tall,

When I found you it didn’t matter at all.


Holding you, I hold everything.  

My desire, my destiny,

Do you know what you’ve done for me?

How you’ve changed my life, how I am complete,

When I’m holding you, it’s like you’ve become

My earth, my sea, my shining sun,

You are more than I ever dreamed,

Holding you I hold everything.


You’re always talkin’ how you don’t look quite right,

(Your) hair’s a mess.  (Your) jeans gettin’ tight,

But when you’re in my arms, all I see,

Is the woman who means the world to me.


Holding you, I hold everything.  

My desire, my destiny,

Do you know what you’ve done for me?

How you’ve changed my life, how I am complete,

When I’m holding you, it’s like you’ve become

My earth, my sea, my shining sun,

You are more than I ever dreamed,

Holding you I hold everything.


I feel you in my very soul.  

Your love is all I need to know.


Holding you, it’s like you’ve become

My earth, my sea, my shining sun,

You are more than I ever dreamed,

Holding you I hold everything.
