The longing

Thinkin' 'bout you, I've been up all night
Close my eyes, and I hold on tight,
To love, believing, what you made me feel.
Used to be so easy to hold back.
Now you've come and you've changed all that.
I need to tell you, what this feeling really means to me.
Hold on, How long can I hold on,
To something so real ?
There's a mountain, there's a hunger,
Like a longing, longing for you.
As a river, to the ocean,
I've been longing, longing for you,
Longing for you.
Who will answer, when I'm reaching out ?
Take it step by step, till you feel no doubt.
Time is calling, my mind won't let you go.
Hold on, How long can I hold on,
To something I feel.
There's a mountain, there's a hunger.
Like a longing, longing for you.
As a river, to the ocean.
I've been longing, longing for you,
Longing for you.
