Hold fast, sweet child
I'll only be gone for a little while, you see
For I just need you to believe in me, and trust
That I won't give up us for petty lust, cause our love it
Is far to precious for me to not covet, in this life
Sooooo, sweet child... Keep sound til we reunite

Even the sun is meant to set before it can shine again.
Even the moon must wait to glow, so, love, ease your mind and listen
This does not mean it's the end.
You are more than a memory. More than an old friend
But I know your heart needs mending from the ending
I promise I'll be there for the tending, but that's depending..
Could you take me back?
Would you wait, in fact?

Hold fast, sweet child
I'll only be gone for a little while, you see
For I just need you to believe in me, and trust
That I won't give up us for petty lust, cause our love it
Is far to precious for me to not covet, in this life
Sooooo, sweet child... Keep sound til we reunite

It's dark now, honey
The stars in our sky grow scarce
We reminisce when times were sunny
When now they dwindle into prayers
And baby, you can scare, if you need
But know my patience is growing thin
As you doubt my every deed
And hold my word to question
I must demand too high a cost
When asking solely for some faith
I cannot help that you feel lost,
When I have made my way
But tarry not, sweet child
Walk your own path, and stay stout
While this dance may be wild,
You are the last stop on my route
So calm your worries, baby girl
Put this doubt to rest
Let this add to all our stories, baby girl
I only want the best
But don't you test me, I advise
For you'll only find our demise

Hold fast, sweet child
I'll only be gone for a little while, you see
For I just need you to believe in me, and trust
That I won't give up us for petty lust, cause our love it
Is far to precious for me to not covet, in this life
Sooooo, sweet child... Keep sound til we reunite
