Love, hold my hand Help me see with the dawn That those that have left Are not gone But they carry on As stars looking down As nature's sons And daughters of the heavens You will not ever be forgotten by me In the procession of the mighty stars Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart Here I will carry, carry, carry you Forever You have touched my life So that now Cathedrals of sound are singing, are singing The waves have come to walk with you To where you will live in the land of you, Land of you You will not ever be forgotten by me In the procession of the mighty stars Your name is sung and tattooed now on my heart Here I will carry, carry, carry you Here I will carry, carry, carry you Forever.
