You've got a friend, she says it's time that I grew up I turn around and say "How 'bout you?" I've got a chance, but I'm not coming from the top, so tell me Should I take this chance with you? 'Cause you're like Helen of Troy A thousand ships and I'm just one boy But I'll hold on to your tears And you could tell me all your fears Let me hold your hand 'Cause you're slipping through mine like sand Ohh, ohh People they come and people they go Where they go, well, nobody knows 'Cause been choosing words carefully with faces, they show the feelings The feelings on faces don't show the feelings We don't show the feelings The sun, the moon, and stars They all fall short of who you are And I'll hold on to your tears And you could tell me all your fears Let me hold your hand 'Cause you're slipping through mine like sand Oh, you take this chance with me Darling, take this chance with me 'Cause I'll hold on to your tears (Take this chance with me) And you could tell me all your fears Let me hold your hand 'Cause you're slipping through mine like sand
