verse 1 Hold me before I'm gone forever Underneath the setting sun I wish we could make that trip together But that old train is boarding one by one verse 2 My dear we have travelled far together Climbed the mountain, swum the sea Still there are so many places calling us Won't you see the rest for me? Chorus And hold me before I'm gone forever 'cause it's all that we can do I wish we could make that trip together But I'll go on ahead and wait for you verse 3 It's true that my candle's burning lower But I'm content to hold your hand The mystery of the dark, it never bothered me Your love is all I need to understand Chorus Hold me before I'm gone forever 'cause it's all that we can do I wish we could make that trip together But I'll go on ahead and wait for you Bridge I wish we could make that trip together But I'll be waiting somewhere, dear, for you
