Hold Onto Your Heart

She walks in pastel shadows

And hides in her long blonde hair

Like a child made after Venus

Leaving love and magic everywhere she goes

Oh, how I'd love to hold her

But we're so many years apart

And somebody somewhere told her

You better hold on to your heart

When I see you sittin' in her doorway

Feelin' sad 'cause she's all alone

I can hear my heart sayin' little things

Like I'd like to take you home with me today

And say

I love you

I love you

But I know we'd never make it together

'Cause you're young and you might get scared

So hold me in your heart forever

As the only older boy who cared enough to tell you

A lot of guys will leave you hurtin'

If you don't think and play it smart

So until you know it's love for certain

You better hold on to your heart

Hold on to your heart
