Thankful I'm not by myself
You keep me from being sad.
I know there's someone else
And love we never had.
Staying up all night
Talking, laughing by the fire,
Waiting for dawn's light
Your eyes burn with desire.
But it's just as well we get some sleep,
I know that you won't play for keeps.
So for now Hold Me Closely
I guess that it's mostly
I need to feel you warm and near.
Hold me and be tender
I'll always remember
The night you loved away my fear.
Being by your side
I feel so safe and secure.
Please don't run and hide
The feelings that I have are pure.
Gazing at the flames
And the fire in your eyes,
Nothings quite the same
Honesty instead of lies.
But it's just as well we get some sleep,
I know that you won't play for keeps.
So for now Hold Me Closely
I guess that it's mostly
I need to feel you warm and near.
Hold me and be tender
I'll always remember
The night you loved away my fear.
