Hold ~

I love the tone that’s in your laugh

gasping for an extra breath.
Waiting for the time to pass;
I believe in days ahead.

Don’t spend another night alone
cross and wishing you were dead

Mary, you should’nt let’em make you mad
you hold the best you can.
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I’m always gonna live to be your man.

I’ve had it easy now you see,
when I’m down your’e always there,
standing by to comfort me.
Someday we’ll go round the world
[I’ll make the journey so sublime
I know you’re not a travelling’ girl.]

Mary, you should’nt let’em make you mad
you hold the best you can.
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I’m always gonna live to be your man.

Cause I’d give e v e r y t h i n g I have,
forget all the things that bring me joy
if you could have one day
pure and simple happiness.
Until that moment comes,
I’ll be here, where I’ve always been;
I’m gonna be your friend
until the day I die.

Mary, you should’nt let’em make you mad,
you hold the best you can.

And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I’m always gonna live to be your man.
