I'd sell my heart just for you
All of my life
I've been waiting for this moment
All of my life
I've been waiting just for you
Just for you

Sometimes I falter

Sometimes I wonder
just what's inside

Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your heart

I feel for you

Sometimes I falter
Look beyond you

I want to be the one
Hold on to your heart
