Hold Back the Night

Hold back the night She was a chestnut haired beauty, standing there all alone... I knew that I... had to get close to her, She had a stare that could melt your heart... if she wanted to... I felt... something deep and warm start to stir The night was still young, but both of us well... not so much... I knew that I... had to make her mine She had an elegant way, and a soft... tender touch... If I could...I'd hold back... the hands of time Chorus So please hold back the night, I don't want this to end everything feels so right, this is true...not pretend so please, hold back the night, please don't say we're just friends so please hold back the night, wish this night never ends She told me straight to my face... that, love was not kind to her... I could see she needed, someone to hold I wrapped my arms around... and I tried to comfort her... Cos, too many times she'd been left in the cold Chorus So please hold back the night, I don't want this to end everything feels so right, this is true...not pretend so please, hold back the night, please don't say we're just friends so please hold back the night, wish this night never ends We spent the night at the station... waiting for the early train I fought desperately to hold back the night She said I'd made her feel better... would we ever meet again? I said sure... cos it just felt so right Chorus So please hold back the night, I don't want this to end everything feels so right, this is true...not pretend so please, hold back the night, please don't say we're just friends so please hold back the night, wish this night never ends I called her two days later to see... if she was ok She said, that she ...was doing just fine I didn't know, that Sorrento would be our favourite place So glad... I tried to hold back... that night Chorus So please hold back the night, I don't want this to end everything feels so right, this is true...not pretend so please, hold back the night, please don't say we're just friends so please hold back the night, wish this night never ends please hold back the night please hold back the night please hold back the night fade to zero John Derek Hamilton February 17, 2018
