"I Only Want You" lyrics

"I Only Want You"

You wrote a message in the sand
In words you thought I'd understand
To tell me things you could not speak
Of love you did not dare to seek
I tried to tell you in a song
What lay inside me for so long
No more charade and no disguise
For you can read it in my eyes

I only want to hold you
Let my lovin' arms enfold you
Yeah, that's the way to show you
I only want you

The world is such a mystery
With things we feel but just can't see
You break a link and lose the chain
And then we start it all again
Our hearts in tune we can't deny
Afraid to speak but still we try
Dreamin' dreams that make us wild
We keep the blind faith of a child

I only want to hold you
Let my lovin' arms enfold you
Yeah, that's the way to show you
I only want you
A whisper in the night time
Soul kissin' in the sunshine
Any times' the right time
I only want you
I only want you
I only want you
I only want you
