I've been around a time or two; never seen anything like you,
Beaten down to the ground, I couldn't lift my head, couldn't turn around,
I found you, I found joy,
I got the smiling face of a little boy,
With you, time stands still,
I can swallow any bitter pill.
You got a young look, young touch,
Never knew that I could love this much, 'til you put in your loving clutch.
You know I've been around, around the track,
Was bound to lose, I was too far back,
And then you made your move upon my soul,
I had to get you 'fore I got too old,
You saw the gaping hole in my heart,
I let this world tear it all apart,
But then you filled it up and filled it in,
You didn't care just where it'd been.
You got a young look, young touch,
Never knew that I could love this much, 'til you put in your loving clutch,
You gave an old man a young heart, transplanted from the broken parts,
Jump-started with your loving spark.
You got a holy hold,
Hold on me, yeah,
You got a holy hold,
Hold on me, yeah,
You got a holy hold,
Hold on me, yeah,
You've got a holy hold,
Hold on me, yeah.

You got a holy hold,
Hold on me, yeah.
