Your eyes go right through (me)

To have and not to hold

Your heart but yet so cold

Your eyes they go right through (me)

To steal

But not to keep

Your heart

But not to weep

Your eyes 

They go right through (me)

But yet you never do anything 

To make me want to stay

To have and not to hold

A love that is not bold or fire

A travesty untold unravels in the mire

Of misfortune

I need to leave

I need to go

You are to have but not to hold

I'm too old for this good fortune

I could have had wedding bliss

And I couldn't be so wrong 

It's unfortunate

I'm too old for this

I maybe only forty something

And few years

But spending life with you 

Is one of my fears

You are to have but not to hold

Mysterious stranger in the dark

You can be my work of art

We can light the candles 

And paint each other 

A work in progress

We can save each other

You are to have but not to hold

Your eyes they go right through (me)

Whenever I'm told I love you, baby

I get stuck and then I tell you

You gotta go

You're to have but not to hold
