[English]

I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me

I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me

I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me

I love, I love, I love, I love the way You, the way You.

I've had a long day I just wanna relax

Do not have time for my friends, no time to chit-chat

Problems at my job, wonderin' what to do

I know I should be working but I'm thinking of You and

Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down

That's when Your smile comes around

Oo, I love the way You hold me,

by my side You'll always be

You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love the way you hold me, in Your arms I'll always be

You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love You more than the words in my brain can express

I can't imagine even loving You less

Lord, I love the way You hold me

Whoaa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh whoaa, I love the way You hold me

Whoaa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Well Ya

took my day and You flipped it around

Calmed the tidal wave and put my feet on the ground

Forever in my heart, always on my mind

It's crazy how I think about You all of the time

And just when I think I'm about to figure You out

You make me wanna sing and shout

I love the way You hold me, by my side You'll always be

You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love the way You hold me, in Your arms I'll always be

You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love You more than the words in my brain can express

I can't imagine even loving You less

Lord, I love the way You hold me

Whoaa-oh-oh-oh-oh, I love the way you hold me

Whoaa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-aoh

I'm so grateful and thankful for all You've done

Wish I could tell You in a short story or poem

But, all I have is my voice and this guitar

And You have my heart

Ooh, I love the way You hold me, by my side You'll always be

You take each and every day, make it special in some way

I love the way You hold me, in Your arms I'll always be

You take each and every day . . . every day . . . every day

I love the way You hold me, by my side You'll always be

You make each and everyday, oh so special

I love the way You hold me, in Your arms I'll always be

You take each and everyday, make it special in some way

I love You more than the words in my brain can express

I can't imagine even loving You less

Lord, I love the way You hold me

Whoaa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh, Whoaa, I love the way You hold me

Whoaa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoaa, I love...

I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me

Hold me, hold me . . .
