Holy hold

been around a time or two
never seen anything like you
beaten down to the ground
i couldn't lift my head,
couldn't turn around
i found you
i found joy
i got the smiling face
of a little boy
with you time stands still
i can swallow any bitter pill

you gotta young look
a young touch
never knew that
i could love this much
'till you put in your lovin' clutch

you know i've been around
around the track
was bound to lose
'cuz i was too far back
and then you
made your move upon my soul
i had to get ya 'fore i got too old
you saw the gaping
hole in my heart
i let this world tear it all apart
you filled it up & filled it in
you didn't care where it had been

you got a young look
a young touch
never know that
i could love this much
till you put in your lovin' clutch
you gave an old man
a young heart
transplanted from
the broken parts
jump started with your
lovin' spark
you got a holy hold, hold on me
