Carrying that same old cross last night You came a-knocking at my door Looking for a little bit of hope I watched you walk across my floor And desperation started setting in Looking at the love you'll never win He still holds you ------- All you ever see in me's a sypathetic shoulder for your tears Little do you know that I've been Calling out your name for years Yet all the hours in prayer I spend All you ever see in me's a friend He still holds you ------- CHORUS: When oh when will those brown eyes open On the world I've been dreaming of Everyday how my heart keeps hoping For a miracle of love ------- What do I have to do to make you Recognise the hunger in my soul Can I break the spell that keeps your heart Forever under control I'm hanging on and waiting for the day But looking at you now I've got to say He still holds you. ------- REPEAR CHORUS TWICE: ------- For a miracle of love He still holds you
