Just To Hold You - Ray Wylie Hubbard

All you know of me is my reputation

Some have called me a storm

But if you’ll take me and not forsake me

I’ll hand you my heart in a golden

For I love you with reckless abandon

And I’ve loved you like that from the start

It’s my good fortune just to know you

Your eyes put wildness in my heart

Down from the mountains I come like thunder

For I’ve too long where the cold rivers run

Just to know you

Just to flow with you

Just to grow with you

And to reap and sow with you

Just to hold you when your hair’s undone

Like a flash of lightning in the heavens

Some lives light up a darkened sky

There are others who fall and stumble

And they’ll hide their hearts and their love tonight

But if you’ll take me and not forsake me

If you’ll have me just as

I will love you beyond forever

And I’ll pledge to you my heart upon sacred ground

Down from the mountains I come like thunder

For I’ve too long where the cold rivers run

Just to know you

Just to flow with you

Just to grow with you

And to reap and sow with you

Just to hold you when your hair’s undone

Out in the Badlands I am an outlaw

But I’ll stand the words of St. Paul

Though we speak like angels and gain the whole world

If we don’t have love, we have nothing at all

But if I displease you and you don’t want me

Well I’ll still wish you love, for love is blessed

We can take nothing greater upon our journey

Rest assured we need take nothing less

Down from the mountains I come like thunder

For I’ve too long where the cold rivers run

Just to know you

Just to flow with you

Just to grow with you

And to reap and sow with you

Just to hold you when your hair’s undone

Just to hold you when your hair’s undone
