that's what happens when i hold you

oh the stars are out

and the moon is high

over your shoulder

shinin' like a neon halo in your hair

dancin' in slow motion

to music only you and i can hear

and i've fallen again

like i always do

that's what happens when i hold you

that's what happens when i hold you

i lose my breath and i can't speak

i never tasted love this sweet

and every time it feels brand new

that's what happens when i hold you

that's what happens when i hold you

now i'm wide awake

and i'm dreamin' still

lost in the moment

all i can do is simply ride the tide

oh

sweet surrender

i couldn't stop this goin' under if i tried

and i've fallen again

like i always do

that's what happens when i hold you

that's what happens when i hold you

i lose my breath and i can't speak

i never tasted love this sweet

and every time it feels brand new

that's what happens when i hold you

that's what happens when i hold

that's what happens when i hold you
