Hold Me Closer

Honey, can we stay a while?

You look good in that old white dress

And I've been thinking of every time

You turned and looked at me, and you

Yeah, you sweep me off my feet

Honey, can we stay a while?

The way the sunlight shows the warmth in your smile

It takes me back to when I first saw you dancing in the street

And you, yeah, you sweep me off my feet

Well, hold me closer, my dear

'Cause our love is stronger

You told me, "Darling, I'll be near, and I am yours to keep

As long as you're here"

Darling, let's waste away the day

And I've been searching for the words to explain

The way our sheets fall down the sides of the bed we made last night

Fix them up in the morning light

It's in the way you say my name

It's in the way you're not afraid anymore

Oh, I'm not scared of waking up when I'm waking up with you

'Cause I was once scared of waking up alone

Yeah, I was once scared of waking up alone

Well, hold me closer, my dear

'Cause our love is stronger

You told me, "Darling, I'll be near, and I am yours to keep

As long as you're here"

Singing, da-da, da-da, da-da

Da-da, da-da, da-da

Well, hold me closer, my dear

'Cause our love is stronger

You told me, "Darling, I'll be near, and I'll give myself to you

As long as you're here"

Well, hold me closer, my dear

'Cause our love is stronger

You told me, "Darling, I'll be near, and I am yours to keep

As long as you're here"

Singing, da-da, da-da, da-da

Da-da, da-da, da-da-ra

Da-da, da-da, da-da
