If your hand could reach my heart, what would you do with it?

How would you hold it? What might you do?

If my heart, its fate were left just to you

Would it be gentle the touch that you give

Might you, could you help me to live

If your hand could reach my heart

Would it, could it, be something to start

Would you pull your hand back if I did the same

Not the same reasons but others I’d name

Would you keep your grasp light and give with each beat

Or tighten your grip until I’m down in defeat

I ask you this now before any more

And more to my heart that’s been broken before

So long have I kept my heart under guard

It’s time to let go it should not be this hard

If I let your hand reach my heart on this day

Might you show me the same but in your own way

If at all we could try oh so slow and together

And see what becomes on the road to forever
