Can I Hold You

*(Written on a cold November Nebraska night, realizing how difficult it is to say goodbye)

This is a song I?ll never sing again
These are the words I?ve longed to say
Holding you again last night, it made me strong it felt so right
To be with you ? How I long to be with you

Chorus:
Can I hold you? for just a moment
Let me look in your eyes just one more time
Have I told you that I?ve never felt this way before
Can I hold you just one moment more

What will I do without you near me
I don?t know how I?ll say goodbye
Is there an island where
It can be right - I?ll take you there and love you
How I long to love you

But can I hold you? for just a moment
Let me look in your eyes just one more time
Have I told you that I?ve never felt this way before
Can I hold you just one moment more

I want to thank you for letting me in
It?s been so long I thought I?d lost it all
And all that you told me, for being my friend
It feels so strong, I just can?t help but fall

Can I hold you? for just a moment
Let me look in your eyes just one more time
Have I told you that I?ve never felt this way before
Can I hold you just one moment more
Can I hold you
Just one moment more
