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
