The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I have a picture, Pinned to my wall. An image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all. Look at our life now, tattered and torn. We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn Hold me now, warm my heart Stay with me, let loving start (let loving start) You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind Both of us searching for some perfrct world we know we'll never find So perhaps I should leave here, yeah yeah go far away But you know that there's no where that I'd rather be than with you here Today Hold me now, warm my heart Stay with me, let loving start (let loving start) You ask if I love you, well what can I say? You know that I do and if this is just one of those games that we play So I'll sing you a new song, please don't cry anymore And then I'll ask your forgiveness, though I don't know just what I'm Asking it for Hold me now, warm my heart Stay with me, let loving start (let loving start)
