Analysis of Hold Fast To Me

Teresa Whitney 1951 (Tacoma)



Climb with me my love,
Mountain's, and swim the sea,
Tenderly I hold you,
Ever so close to me,

The innocence within our love,
Just like a new born child,
My heart awaits beckoning thee,
All the while,

I feel your tenderness,
Your touch from within,
Your heart beating faster,
I see you smiling my friend,

Climb that mountain with me,
And swim the deepest sea,
Hold fast my love of my life,
To me.
