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
   (Repeat Chorus)
