[Verse 1: Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, Both]

Hold me forever

Whisper the words I've waited so long to hear

Love's sweet surrender

Steals an embrace and kisses away the tears

Looking back down the road of love

We can still feel the heartache

Pain and joy of an unrelenting love

Hold us together

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, Both]

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Only you (Only you have)

You've got the key to my heart

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Need your love, take me forever

[Verse 2: Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, Both]

Sad empty faces

Faded away when I fell in love with you

True love erases

Fear and the doubt not knowing

We'd see things through

So in love, unaware of time

In a world of illusion

We fell in love until the end of time

True love, forever

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, Both]

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Only you (Only you have)

You've got the key to my heart

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Need your love, take me forever

[Verse 3: Bill Champlin, Both]

Looking back, down the road of love

We can still feel the heartache

Pain and joy of an unrelenting love

Hold us together

[Chorus: Robert Lamm, Bill Champlin, Both]

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Only you (Only you have)

You've got the key to my heart

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Need your love, take me forever

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Only you (Only you have)

You've got the key to my heart

Only you (Only you have)

You've got control

Need your love, (I need it)

Take me forever
