I’ll Hold You Lightly

Chorus:
I’ll hold you lightly my darling
I’ll hold you lightly my dear
And though my arms love to hold you
My heart has God above to fear

Verse:
In the morning my eyes saw you
I thought I rubbed them both awake
Cause I’ve seen clouds roll through the old pine
And sweet fall leaves soften the sunshine
But never before has such a beautiful sight
Called herself none, none but mine

Chorus:
I’ll hold you lightly my darling
I’ll hold you lightly my dear
And though my arms love to hold you
My heart has God above to fear

Verse:
When the sun rose above us
The landscape was so plain to read
Walking was easy and faith had understanding
And my hand held you tightly my dearest delight
But my heart is ready to walk through the night
And if he asks for your hand I’d, I’d let go

Chorus (x2):
I’ll hold you lightly my darling
I’ll hold you lightly my dear
And though my arms love to hold you
My heart has God above to fear
