Hold me with your lips and your Irish lilting voice
Hold me through the turmoil till the starry skies rejoice
Lift me like an aeroplane and be my skyward dove
Hold me with your face of love
Hold me with your face of love

Let me hear your wisdom when the babbling mobs are gone
Let me sense your movement like a gently gliding swan
Take me to the places that you know the beauty of
Hold me with your face of love
Hold me with your face of love
……

Hold me in my castle now, hold me on and on
Hold me very sensually and hold me very long
We’re both of us struck through with love, we’re both of us above
Hold me with your face of love
Hold me with your face of love

Hold me to the music that is asking us be played
Hold me through the movies that our kisses have outweighed
Raise a bed of foment now, upon the roses laid
Hold me with your face of love
…. ….
Hold me with your lips and your irish lilting voice
Hold me through the turmoil till the starry skies rejoice
Hold me with your naked legs or place on me your glove
Hold me with your face of love
Hold me with your face of love
Hold me with your face of love
