I want a single bed, I want a simpler life,
But I want you by my side, I'm so confused.

I want you wishing something, that might come true,
Oh, I'm so confused, but I'm in love with you.

Hold me closer tonight,
Hold me closer tonight,
Say you will,
Hold me still,
Til the morning,
Til the morning.

You said you'd walk me down to the river side,
When I'm by your side, I'll walk miles and miles.

When we're old and gray, we won't talk this way,
We are stupid and dumb, but we're only young.

Hold me closer tonight,
Hold me closer tonight,
Say you will,
Hold me still,
Til the morning,
Til the morning.

I owe you my heart,
Do you understand?
I owe you my eyes and ears and hands
