All I Had To Do

(album: Living Proof - 1974)

Morning comes and spreads tomorrow on my bed so softly
I can feel the darkness go
Leaving like the girl who walked across my world
And took the only love I'll ever know

She was all I wanted but I guess I never told her
Now she's gone away
If I had a wish my only wish would be
That she was coming back to stay

All I had to do to hold her was hold her
I was always looking out for me and only thought about
All the things I had to do
All I did was turn away when all she wanted me to say
Was I love you

Evening starts to spread across my lonely bed so slowly
I can feel the darkness grow
Shadows bring the gloom that fills my silent room with sounds
Of someone crying low

I close my eyes and memorize
The softness of her lips on my own
What's the point in being strong or being right or wrong
If all it means is being all alone

All I had to do to hold her was hold her
All I had to do to hold her was hold her
