I held him and would not let go

Beautiful Dreams

She Speaks:

1 While in bed at night, I reached for the one I love with heart and soul.
I looked for him, but he wasn't there.
2 So I searched through the town for the one I love. 
I looked on every street, but he wasn't there.
3 I even asked the guards patrolling the town, “Have you seen the one I love so much?”
4 Right after that, I found him.
I held him and would not let go until I had taken him to the home of my mother.
5 Young women of Jerusalem, promise me by the power of deer and gazelles never to awaken love before it is ready.
