Lyrics
Refrain:
Name your heart’s desire
Presto! It’s done
I’ll turn on the starlight
Turn off the sun
There’s no holding me
If I can keep on holding you
Want us to be rich?
Or don’t you care?
Either way, I’ll have us walking on air
Just give me the cue
And there’s no magic I can’t do
All our days, our nights
There’s nothing that you’ll be denied
We can climb the heights
But you’ve got to be by my side
We can conquer all, country or town
Got yourself a partner
Won’t let you down
There’s no holding me
If I can keep on holding you
Refrain:
Not concerned about your pocket book
I’ll be maid and butler, also the cook
There’s no holding me
If I can keep on holding you
Anybody else never will count
Do you care for children?
Any amount
There’s no holding me
If I can keep on holding you
All our days, our nights
There’s nothing that you’ll be denied
We can climb the heights
But you’ve got to be by my side
Name your heart’s desire, on land or sea
But each time you name her
Better name me
There’s no holding you
Unless it’s I who’s holding you
