Hold Me Close

Hold me close for just a little longer
I do not want this night to be over
If you stay till morning, I'll be fine
But I'd rather keep you by my side

Lover dearest, lover mine
How I've loved all this time
All this time

Hold my hand and tell me you won't let go
Whisper much too close the secrets you have told
Look me deeply in the eyes
Do you love me? You can lie
I won't mind

Love, you are my warmth, your hands are heaven
Sunlight breaks the night when you are present
These sweet nothings at your ear
Are the somethings I hope you hold dear
Oh, my dear

Cup my face and tell me that you love me
Even if it's only till the morning
Brush the hair out of my face
I'll pretend I was not awake
