Verse
Hold on, hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on, hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing?
My love, you know that you're my best friend
You know I'd do anything for you
My love, let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true

Am I in heaven here or am I
At the crossroads I'm standing?

So now you're sleeping peaceful

And you'll see another day
And we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face
