Lyrics
You don't know what you've got
Till it's slipping through your hands
Like the last breath of a summer night
Fading into the sand
Every moment's a treasure
But we never see it clear
Only when it's gone
Does the heart start to hear
Hold her close, don't let her go
Before the silence fills the room
Love's a flame that needs the light
Don't wait till she's out of sight
Oh, hold her close, like you mean it so
Before the cold winds start to blow
You'll only know the truth
When it's too late to choose
Words unspoken, like echoes in the dark
Regrets that pull the soul apart
If you love her, don't let go
Or you'll miss the only song you know
Every heartbeat's a promise
Every glance a whispered vow
Don't let the moment slip
Don't wait till it's not now
Hold her close, don't let her go
Before the silence fills the room
Love's a flame that needs the light
Don't wait till she's out of sight
Oh, hold her close, like you mean it so
Before the cold winds start to blow
You'll only know the truth
When it's too late to choose
Oh, the night is short, the days will fly
Don't lose your chance to touch the sky
Love's a fragile, fleeting thing
But in your arms, it's everything
Hold her close, don't let her go
Before the silence fills the room
Love's a flame that needs the light
Don't wait till she's out of sight
Oh, hold her close, like you mean it so
Before the cold winds start to blow
You'll only know the truth
When it's too late to choose
