When we dance, that's when I remember All the ways you can spin me around It's not your skill or your style Or your gaze or your smile It's how you hold me, how you're holding me now You hold me strong and tender Like it would hurt you to let me fall down Like I'm precious and wild Like I'm a newborn child It's how you hold me, how you're holding me now And when I'm blue, that's when I remember To be grateful for what I have found Though your words, God, they move me As they comfort and soothe It's how you hold me, how you're holding me now You hold me strong and tender Like it would hurt you to let me fall down Like I'm precious and wild Like I'm a newborn child It's how you hold me, how you're holding me now When me make love, that's when I remember That we're dancing on god's holy ground More than your body's fine grace Or your beautiful face It's how you hold me, how you're holding me now You hold me strong and tender Like it would hurt you to let me fall down Like I'm precious and wild Like I'm a newborn child It's how you hold me, how you're holding me now It's how you hold me, how you're holding me now
