I said, "I'm holding onto your love

To save my life."

He said "Your's don't need saving,

But you can sure hold onto mine."

I said, "I can't believe that someone's

saying this to me.

I can't decide whether to smile or cry,

Oh, how can this be?



(Chorus)

I need you to save me,

Just hold me in your arms,

I just want you to love me,

And keep me safe from harm.



He said, "I've never felt this way

About anyone before,

It seems as each day passes by,

I love you more and more.

I've had to hold this feeling inside for so long,

Now I don' t know what to say,

Will we ever be together?

It seems like that's the only way,"



(chorus)

For you to save me,

Just hold me in your arms,

I just want you to love me,

And keep me safe from harm.



For once I was speechless,

The words just wouldn't come,

So I just said, "I love you."

And felt myself go numb,

"I don't think there's anymore

That either of us can do,

Except to love each other,

And have faith we'll make it through."



(chorus)

I need you to save me,

Just hold me in your arms,

I just want you to love me,

And keep me safe from harm.
