IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO

this is the time

this is the place

so don't hold back

I need to feel your warm embrace

ever so tenderly and - oh baby



there's no time for hatred

there's no time for war

and there's no anger in my body anymore

'cause I have learned to love

learned to love again



no, I won't fall to pieces

no, I won't be that way

'cause I have tasted freedom

in the things I say



Chorus:



can I hold you close

let me feel you near

and I will never let you go

if you don't want me to



just say the word

and I will be there for you darlin'

you know I hunger for your touch

and there's no time for sadness

and there's no time for pain

and there's no time for sorrow

I'm free again

and I will be this way

forever, and ever and ever



can I hold you close...



here is the body

let's break the bread

let's drink the wine from a cup of happiness

and I will never leave you

in winter, spring or fall

'cause I have grown to love,

each day I love you more

'cause I have always been

the one you've been waiting for



no, I won't fall to pieces

no, I won't be that way



if you don't want me to

if you don't want me to

if you don't want me to



this is the time

this is the place

so don't hold back

I need to feel your warm embrace



there's no time for hatred

and there's no time for war

there's no anger in my body anymore

'cause I have always been

the one you've been waiting for

I will never let you go

if you don't me to
