everything is as it should be
I don't know who we are or why we're here
but you are the only one to hold me dear

so take my mind and move it gently
it's the only way I can be
I ain't no tough guy, no devil may he care
and you're the only one to ever hold me dear

so hold me dear, hold me so
dear. You're the only one
to ever hold me dear.

So I'll hold you close and whisper to you
everything you never thought you'd hear
in a lifetime of lost loves and stalled affairs
cause I'm the only one to ever hold you dear
so hold me dear, and I'll hold you so
dear. I'm the only one
to ever hold you dear.

so hold me dear, hold me so
dear. You're the only one
(I'm the only one)
You're the only one
to ever hold me dear.
