take my hand

The time for waiting's gone
soon it will be tomorrow
all memories die away
and here the world turns round to us
and tells us of our dream
and how it's finally coming true
when I see your smile
when I hear your voice
When I hold you near to me

There is no other time
the hour is near to fading
like roses in the night
when darkness takes them one by one
but we shall see the dawn
tomorrow will be right for us
when I hold you near
when I feel you there
when I know once more it's you

Take my hand
and lead me where forever is
The love that we understand
lives in a moment just like this
Take my hand
and lead me to another world
where darkness can only bring
a neverending goodnight kiss
when you take my hand

So walk towards the day
the light is slowing breaking
where lovers share their dreams
in every day the sun has shone
that sun will light our love
and no bad world can change the time
when I see your smile
when I feel your kiss
when I know your hand in mine

Take my hand
and lead me where forever is
The love that we understand
lives in a moment just like this
Take my hand
and lead me to another world
where darkness can only bring
a neverending goodnight kiss
Take my hand
and lead me where forever is
The love that we understand
lives in a moment just like this
when you take my hand
(gap)
(brass)
when you take my hand
