Proposal

(album: Hold On - 1976)

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it I will understand
It's just some flowers
My family just moved in around the corner
Will you be my friend
I touched her on the shoulder
She was fourteen I was barely older

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it I will understand
It's just a key
My parents are going away for the weekend
Will you stay with me
It felt my body trembling
High school days were nearly at an end then

[Chorus:]
Time was a blur of emotions
Spinning so fast

And time was a rocket engine
With no end and no beginning
But all time stopped when she said "yes"

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it you know I'll never ask again
It's just a ring
At best it's just a symbol of everything
If I can share my life with you
Standing naked in my fear
I could not face her
Then I broke down my arms embraced her

[Repeat chorus]

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it
That's how our lives began
