And I held You

E - Everyone

In Original Songs and Poems

There was a time when I could say I'll work it out

And promises were kept somehow.

And there was a time I could say I'll get it done

And you wouldn't have to worry about how.

But now there are things to pay,

And words to say,

And everyday,

It seems like were so beaten down.

And everyday,

I look at you and remember days,

When all I had to do was turn around.

And I held you.

Eyes would light the sky.

And the beat of your heart would beat with mine.

And I held you.

A smile would always shine.

And the beat of your heart would beat with mine.

And we knew things would be alright.

As long as we held to each other tight.

And I held you.

Yesterday we fought and said we cant work it out

And love just isn't doing it now.

And yesterday I dreamed that I was thirteen,

And I didn't kiss your lips like now.

But now there are things to pay,

And words to say,

And everyday,

It seems like were so beaten down.

And everyday,

I look at you and remember days,

When all I had to do was turn around.

And I held you.

Eyes would light the sky.

And the beat of your heart would beat with mine.

And I held you.

A smile would always shine.

And the beat of your heart would beat with mine.

And we knew things would be alright.

As long as we held each other tight.

And I held you.

... (instrumental)

I was asleep last night.

And I had a dream - A nightmare.

That you were gone

And I was left.

To waste away in the pain

Of my tears,

And my regrets,

And my sorries,

And my - oh how did I forget.

...To hold you.

...And show you everytime,

...That the beat of your heart still beats with mine.

...To hold you.

...And let your smile shine,

...When you hear our hearts beat everytime.

...And we would know everything is alright.

..."Baby, everything is alright."

...And I held you.

...Oh I held you.

find any flaw or mistake to tell you about it ,so i'm just gonna tell you the parts that i mostly liked .

first the introduction , for me it was so touching ...

There was a time when I could say I'll work it out
And promises were kept somehow.
And there was a time I could say I'll get it done
And you wouldn't have to worry about how.
But now there are things to pay,
And words to say,
And everyday,

A smile would always shine.
And the beat of your heart would beat with mine.
And we knew things would be alright.
As long as we held each other tight.

Not only do these lines bring a sense of nostalgia, but also paint very blissful picture, of happiness in the middle of all the pain and hurt. They sow someone who want to stick around, and who wants to be there because he loves her so much. Even thought the love is an idealized romantic one, struck in the middle by practicality and the "real world", the longing for that blissful dream of love is something that holds the reader captivated.

I loved it.

Sending love and warmth you way!

What I love about these lyrics is how wishful it is. It's so melancholy and sad and nostalgic. It brought tears to my eyes. I can't... I can't describe to you how touching this song is to me.
You reminded me a confusing person, one who inspired some of my poems. This song makes me think about him, how I wish he would hold me. But he never will. It was so incredibly beautiful. I wish I could come up with a better description but I'm about to cry. Bravo, and I REALLY look forward to you posting more.

Oh, I dont want to you to cry!!! But thank you! *wipes away tears*

Oh my god! This is beautiful! Like, seriously, this is perfectly perfect! Why doesn't everyone write songs like this? Wow! I really love it! Oh! Why can't I write like you??? Seriously! This is the music that I love! Oh! I really want to hear the tune now! This is seriously supremely perfect! Please tell me you'll write more! ;) I can't wait to read more of your works! I don't think I found anything grammatically wrong with it! And it was full of emotion! I was easily sucked into it and found myself enthralled! I don't often like reading lyrics, but this... AMAZING! Keep it up!

:'( oh my God! you wrote this? do you sing? can i steal the lyrics? perfect oh, so perfect! how can you evoke so much emotion, so easily, it's so unbelievably awesome! how did you do it. i started singing and i don't even know the instrumentals. it's so beautiful, something Taylor Swift would do or maybe Ed Sheeran.
so right now, I'm gloating on and on about how awesome you are 'cause you're just as awesome as my favorite musicians above.no mistakes, no errors, just perfection!
keep writing!
