Cover art for To Have and Not to Hold lyrics by Madonna

I never heard this song properly until my Winamp 'generated' it... And I can say this song is one of M's best. Like someone wrote before I think this one is about being in love with some person or even a spirit or desire that you can never have and obviously you know that. 'To have not to hold' like allways to have the dream in your mind but never have an opportunity to touch it in reality.
