lyrics

I somehow made it through the first day.
I got to work and I got home
with the dishes from the weekend waiting for me,
standing in the kitchen all alone.

And I wish I held you longer.
What was keeping me from trying?
I wish I held you longer
and maybe I could keep from crying.

I could take comfort in my music:
eight simple notes so tried and true.
And arrange myself a perfect melody,
but even that just ain't as beautiful as you.

And I wish I held you longer.
What was keeping me from trying?
I wish I held you longer
and maybe I could keep from crying.

The last time I looked in your eyes,
with those tender tears a-flowing,
my destination was laid out for me,
but I still don't know where the hell I'm going.

And I wish I held you longer.
What was keeping me from trying?
I wish I held you longer
and maybe I could keep from crying.
