Brian's Song
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
Were hand that I could hold
I'd keep them warm
And in my hand
They'd not turn cold
Hand in hand
We'd choose
The moments that should last
Timeless moments
That have no future
And no past
The summer
From the top of a swing
The comfort
In the sound of a laughter
The innocense
Of leaves in spring
But most of all
The moment when love touched me
All the happy days
We've never learned to fly
Until the hands of time
Would choose the wave goodbye
