when love is new
and the world is out reaching for you
we try hard to hold it all
in our hands
but it slips through
like soft drifting sands
but drying the tears
can build it all like new
(chorus)
now and forever
remember the words
from my heart will always be true
now and forever
together and all that i feel
here's my love for you
learning each day
that the right time was so far away
to tell you the things i knew
now it's clear
that the moment
we searched for is here
and counting the years
is all i want to do
(chorus)
hold me as close
as love will allow
until all your fears are gone
what has all passed
is over now
i'm here with you
i'm here with you
i'm holding on
i'm holding on
is my love for you
Whenever I'm weary
From the battles that rage in my head
You make sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you
Seem to understand
Now and forever
I will be your man
Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now and forever
I will be your man
Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there
All the time
All this time
Until the day the ocean
Doesn't touch the sand
Now and forever
I will be your man
