If I could hold you now |
LyricsIf I Could Hold You NowWritten and composed by Yves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1A You're fighting shadows I can't see So far away, yet close to me Each silent cry you try to hide Echoes deep inside this life Verse 1B I see your strength behind the strain Still standing tall through all that pain But I would trade a thousand days To wipe just one of yours away Pre-Chorus I wish my arms could cross this space To pull you into warm embrace Chorus If I could hold you now, I would I'd take your pain -- you know I would I'd be the stillness where you breathe The peace you feel when you find sleep Though I'm not there, somehow I'd give my world to hold you now Verse 2A Your smile is brave, your heart worn thin But there's a light that lives within It flickers when the nights are long But girl, your soul was built for storms Verse 2B I read between the lines you write The pages filled with quiet fight And though you never call my name I whisper yours through wind and rain Pre-Chorus So close your eyes, just feel me near You're not alone -- I'm always here Chorus If I could hold you now, I would I'd take your pain -- you know I would I'd be the stillness where you breathe The peace you feel when you find sleep Though I'm not there, somehow I'd give my world to hold you now Bridge You're not a burden, never were Your voice could heal this shattered world You're not your scars or silent cries You are a song the stars still write Final Chorus If I could hold you now, I would I'd lift you up the way love should I'd be the echo in your tune The quiet strength behind your truth And even if I'm not allowed... You'll always know -- I love you now Outro You'll always know... I love you now |
| Short Song Description: Some words are meant to comfort, others to heal -- and sometimes, all you want is to hold someone close when you can't. "If I Could Hold You Now" was written for anyone who's ever watched someone they care about struggle from a distance, wishing they could do more than just be there in spirit. This song is my way of saying: I see you. I feel what you're carrying. And if I could take it from you, I would. It's for the daughters, the friends, the loved ones fighting quiet battles behind brav |
