Hold Me

Hold me closer, I think she's holding on to him Would you care to dance a little longer? Would you mind taking me in? Hold me closer, if you could only just pretend She might see me smiling somewhere And want me back again We used to go together a-waltzing Oh, she used to lead me out on the floor But here I am with you tonight And she's over there with Joe Hold me closer, I think I just might cry Well, I'm dusting off some memories That are waking up inside Hold me closer, and we'll dance into the night Though you might see me flash a grin Honey, I'm having the hardest time We used to sail at night like stars And we'd tell it like it is to all the folks She used to cut up all my blue jeans And laugh at all my jokes Hold me closer, I think I need a friend Well, my longest night of lonesome Is coming to an end Oh, hold me closer, as we walk into the wind Lay your love upon my busted heart And we'll pray that it will mend
