i only want you

you wrote a message in the sand

in words you thought i'd understand

to tell me things you could not speak

of love you did not dare to seek

i tried to tell you in a song

what lay inside me for so long

no more charade and no disguise

for you can read it in my eyes

i only want to hold you

let my lovin' arms enfold you

yeah

that's the way to show you

i only want you

the world is such a mystery

with things we feel but just can't see

you break a link and lose the chain

and then we start it all again

our hearts in tune we can't deny

afraid to speak but still we try

dreamin' dreams that make us wild

we keep the blind faith of a child

i only want to hold you

let my lovin' arms enfold you

yeah

that's the way to show you

i only want you

a whisper in the night time

soul kissin' in the sunshine

any times' the right time

i only want you

i only want you

i only want you

i only want you
