Lyrics

HOLDING MY LOVE
(Warren Boutros)

I saw you ride in from the canyon
Calloused hands and weathered face
I could tell you lived a life worth living 
Saw the hard lines, that hard times had traced

I remember the day I left El Paso
So young and ready to believe
I put my trust in a smooth desperado
He stole my faith and broke my dreams

CHORUS:
I've been holding my lovefor a long long time
Kept it caged inside haunted memories
Now could you be the one to lay down these walls?
Set my heart free
Turn this prison into dust
Could you be the man I can trust ?
To keep holding my love

Marigolds bloom in summer deserts
I love the way they linger into fall
But shadows grow long with these sunsets
Sometimes shadows are all we become

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
I'm wiser now, gonna let those ghosts die
You've got a heart of light, bright as a sunrise

Every new dayis a mystery
I watch these tumbleweeds roll like dice
But if there's such a thing as destiny
I know you'll bring meaning to my life

FINAL CHORUS:
I've been holding my love for a long long time
Kept it caged inside haunted memories
I believe you're the one to lay down these walls
Set my heart free
Turn this prison into dust
I know you're the man I can trust
To keep holding my love
