Love me, but don't hold me too tight

Don't hold me too tight

Or I may take flight

Like a butterfly with delicate wings

I need to run free

So keep loving me

And forgive my failings

I give all I can

To each and every man

But I often feel I am too much

My loving has to be shared

So that feelings can be spared

I appreciate that care so much

So love me with all you are

Like a bright, shining star

Whose sparkle will never die

But don't hold me too tight

Or I may have to take flight

And who knows how far I may fly

Let me go when I need to go

But always will you know

That I will come back to your heart

And remember always

That across the days

We will never be apart.
