I Don'T Want To Let Go

I Don’t Want to Let Go

I don’t want to let go…
of when I looked into your eyes
as you brushed aside a strand of your soft brown hair
your smile so sweet, so bright
the thoughts of it stayed with me deep into the night
You said, “Let me be yours, for I want you to be mine
so our souls, our hearts will intertwine”
I don’t want to let go…
of the moment when I gently held your hand
we began feeling a special connection only we understand
I don’t want to let go…
of the moment we watched the sunset
you put your head on my shoulder and sweetly said
that this is a moment you’ve longed for—one you never wish to forget
I don’t want to let go…
of the time you asked, “Will you hold me? Will you kiss me?
please… please be my reality
my sweet man, please take away all my sorrow”

I don’t want to let go… of you
of the hope that you are the one for me
now, tomorrow and all of infinity
I don’t want to let go…
of you, of your sweet tender love
I don’t want to let go
