Hold on my heart

just hold on to that feeling

we both know we've been here before

we both know what can happen

Hold on my heart

cos I'm looking over your shoulder

ooh please don't rush in this time

don't show her how you feel

Hold on my heart

throw me a lifeline

I'll keep a place for you

somewhere deep inside

So hold on my heart

please tell her to be patient

cos there has never been a time

that I wanted something more

If I can recall this feeling

and I know there's a chance

oh I will be there

yes I will be there

be there for you

whenever you want me to

whenever you call oh I will be there

Yes I will be there

Hold on my heart

don't let her see you crying

no matter where I go

she'll always be with me

So hold on my heart

just hold on to that feeling

we both know we've been here before

we both know what can happen

So hold on my heart...
