| this is the time
|
| this is the place
|
| so don’t hold back
|
| I need to feel your warm embrace
|
| ever so tenderly and — oh baby
|
| there’s no time for hatred
|
| there’s no time for war
|
| and there’s no anger in my body anymore
|
| 'cause I have learned to love
|
| learned to love again
|
| no, I won’t fall to pieces
|
| no, I won’t be that way
|
| 'cause I have tasted freedom
|
| in the things I say
|
| Chorus:
|
| can I hold you close
|
| let me feel you near
|
| and I will never let you go if you don’t want me to just say the word
|
| and I will be there for you darlin'
|
| you know I hunger for your touch
|
| and there’s no time for sadness
|
| and there’s no time for pain
|
| and there’s no time for sorrow
|
| I’m free again
|
| and I will be this way
|
| forever, and ever and ever
|
| can I hold you close…
|
| here is the body
|
| let’s break the bread
|
| let’s drink the wine from a cup of happiness
|
| and I will never leave you
|
| in winter, spring or fall
|
| 'cause I have grown to love,
|
| each day I love you more
|
| 'cause I have always been
|
| the one you’ve been waiting for
|
| no, I won’t fall to pieces
|
| no, I won’t be that way
|
| if you don’t want me to if you don’t want me to if you don’t want me to this is the time
|
| this is the place
|
| so don’t hold back
|
| I need to feel your warm embrace
|
| there’s no time for hatred
|
| and there’s no time for war
|
| there’s no anger in my body anymore
|
| 'cause I have always been
|
| the one you’ve been waiting for
|
| I will never let you go if you don’t me to |
