Don`t want to open your heart ..... you`re afraid from the start,
That a new love`s gonna get you down,
There was something you should know ..... before you give up and go,
I don`t believe in a run-around.
I just wanted to find myself and show you how I feel.
Chorus:
If a promise ain`t enough ..... then a touch says everything,
Gotta hold you in my arms ..... do you feel what I mean.
Know that my heart just tells me what to say,
But words can only prove so much,
If a promise ain`t enough ..... hold on to my love.
Though my words can`t describe how I`m feelin` all inside,
Does my touch say anything to you,
I`m not afraid to take time ..... `cause I know you`ll find,
That I`m real and my touch is true,
It`s taken a lifetime to find my heart and I give it all to you.
Chorus:
If a promise ain`t enough ..... then a touch says everything,
Gotta hold you in my arms ..... do you feel what I mean,
Know that my heart just tells me what to say,
But words can only prove so much,
If a promise ain`t enough ..... hold on to my love.
Oh, it tokk a lifetime to find what I want ..... I won`t let it get away.
Chorus:
If a promise ain`t enough ..... then a touch says everything,
Gotta hold you in my arms ..... do you feel what I mean,
Know that my heart just tells me what to say,
But words can only prove so much,
If a promise ain`t enough ..... hold on to my love,
If a promise ain`t enough ..... Hold on!
Promises - promises - promises - hold on to my love,
Promises - promises - promises - hold on to my love .....
(repeat and fade)
