to have and to hold

into the desert i run

into the blinding sun

i know that you will come

to have and to hold

i sleep-walk in the night

i see your face

it's burning bright

i reach up into the light

to have and to hold

when will you come

and how will i know

i will wait down by the waterside

i look around at the world i see

pain and kindness uncertainty

this is not what was meant to be

to have and to hold

maybe we meet

a long time ago

when i was a man walking blind

i many be searching my life through

i may standing right next to you

this time i'll know just what to do

to have and to hold

and i can see quite clearly now

and i can see quite clearly now
