I'll hold you close tonight
I won't let go until you're sure you're not alone
Now don't you hold your tears inside
I'll never judge you or make you feel less of a man

Let me be the one to come running
Cradle you from harm when you're running away

Darling, just hold me
Darling, just hold me
Why won't you hold me tonight?
Darling, just hold me
Why won't you hold me?
My darling, just hold me tonight

Don't you hide your face tonight
You're beautiful and I can see it clearly now
And I'll be late I know
But time can wait, how I need you baby
Feel your sorrow

Let me be the one to come running
Cradle you from harm when you're running away

Darling, just hold me
Darling, just hold me
Why won't you hold me tonight?
Darling, just hold me
Why won't you hold me?
My darling, just hold me tonight

Don't be scared honey, to open up, my baby
And be honest with me when you need some help, need some help
'Cause when times get rough, you know I'll be there waiting
'Cause when times get rough, you know the going get tough

Darling, just hold me
Darling, just hold me
Why won't you hold me tonight?
Darling, just hold me
Why won't you hold me?
My darling, just hold me tonight
