Why do people always have to gather
When I'd rather be alone with you
Not a chance to talk romance with kisses
It looks like this is all we can do

Hold my hand and let me feel you near
Hold my hand to tell me you are here
There's so much your touch reveals so clearly
And so sincerely to me, my dear

And until you tell me with your lips
There's a thrill in just your fingertips
That my heart alone can understand
Every time you hold my hand

Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
There's so much your touch reveals so clearly
And so sincerely to me, my dear

And until you tell me with your lips
There's a thrill in just your fingertips
That my heart alone can understand
Every time you hold my hand

(Hold my hand and let me feel you near)
(Hold my hand to tell me you are here)
(There's so much your touch reveals so clearly)
(And so sincerely to me, my dear)

(And until you tell me with your lips)
(There's a thrill in just your fingertips)
(That my heart alone can understand)
(Every time you hold my hand)

(Orchestral Interlude)

Hold my hand and let me feel you near
Hold my hand to tell me you are here
There's so much your touch reveals so clearly
And so sincerely to me, my dear

And until you tell me with your lips
There's a thrill in just your fingertips
That my heart alone can understand
Every time you hold my hand

(And until you tell me with your lips)
(There's a thrill in just your fingertips)
(That my heart alone can understand)
(Every time you hold my hand)
