When love is new   And the world is out reaching for you   We try hard to hold it all   In our hands   But it slips through   Like soft drifting sands   But drying the tears   Can build it all like new      (Chorus)   Now and forever   Remember the words   From my heart will always be true   Now and forever   Together and all that I feel   Here's my love for you      Learning each day   That the right time was so far away   To tell you the things I knew   Now it's clear   That the moment   We searched for is here   And counting the years   Is all I want to do      (Chorus)   Hold me as close   As love will allow   Until all your fears are gone   What has all passed   Is over now   I'm here with you   I'm here with you   I'm holding on   I'm holding on   Is my love for you   (Repeat Chorus)
