Carrying that same old cross last night
You came a-knocking at my door
Looking for a little bit of hope
I watched you walk across my floor
And desperation started setting in
Looking at the love you'll never win
He still holds you
-------
All you ever see in me's a sypathetic shoulder for your tears
Little do you know that I've been
Calling out your name for years
Yet all the hours in prayer I spend
All you ever see in me's a friend
He still holds you
-------
CHORUS:
When oh when will those brown eyes open
On the world I've been dreaming of
Everyday how my heart keeps hoping
For a miracle of love
-------
What do I have to do to make you
Recognise the hunger in my soul
Can I break the spell that keeps your heart
Forever under control
I'm hanging on and waiting for the day
But looking at you now I've got to say
He still holds you.
-------
REPEAR CHORUS TWICE:
-------
For a miracle of love
He still holds you
