You've been hurt and disappointed,
A little frightened of this World.
But behind that shell there's hiding,
A soft little girl, Elaina.
Elaina.

You're so tired of love that fades away,
Leaving you a broken heart.
There's a Love that's more than you have known
Who loves you as you are.

Chorus:
I want to hold you close and tell you, Elaina,
God's Love be with you, I love you tonight.
I want to hold you close and whisper, Elaina,
God's Love is with you, won't you hear Him tonight?
Elaina.

You've been hurt by those that you've tried to love,
It seems no one could understand.
But true Love can give new hope to you,
Let me take your hand, Elaina.

Darling, God's Love's forever,
It will never fade nor depart.
Life and joy are yours for the asking,
Just open up your heart!

Chorus:
I want to hold you close and tell you, Elaina,
God's Love is with you, I love you tonight.
I want to hold you close and whisper, Elaina,
God's Love is with you, won't you hear Him tonight?

[Repeat second chorus]
