Hold Me
P.J. Proby Lyrics


When you're near me I feel so romantic
When you're far away I'm always blue
If you want me to remain romantic
Here are all the things you'll have to do

Hold me honey won't you hold he
Hold me never let me go
Take me honey won't you take me
Never to forsake me
'Cause I love you so
Thrill me, let your kisses thrill me
Just like you alone can do
Hold me tenderly enfold me
Never try to hold me from you

I love every little thing about you
Every thing you say and all you do
I would be a total loss without you
What becomes of me is up to you

Hold me honey won't you hold me
Hold me never let me go
Take me honey won't you take me
Never to forsake me
'Cause I love you so
Thrill me Let your kisses thrill me
Just like you alone can do
Hold me tenderly, enfold me

PJProby The Gentleman Who Split His Trousers, Performing A Show At The Globe Theatre In Stockton-On-Tees, England. 🇬🇧.
That Is How The Newspapers Described It., To Be Fair To PJProby I Call It Unlucky.
The Seam In Parts Of His Tight Trousers
Up The Leg Burst Open 👖👖👖
Bad Workmanship,Faulty Stiching, Or All That Moving Around On Stage, He Did Could Of Caused It.
(To Be Fair In Those Days Clothes Made By British Machinist Were Excellently Finished Off.) 🥼👖👕👗

Unfortunately That Was The Start Of His Fall From Grace,End Of The Road.
He Was Banned And His Tour Was Cancelled.🎶🎤🎵
The Management Quickly Tried To Get A New Artist To Take His Place.🎵🎤🎶🎸
Could Only Get Artist At Short Notice To Play A One Night Performance.🎸🎤🎺

Until They Found A Unknown Singer That Came From Wales.🎵🎤🎶🎼🎤🎶🎤
Any Guesses Who It Was???????????????
Yes The One And Only Tom Jones.
That's How He Got His Big Break.🎵🎤
The Story Goes, He Came Straight From Doing A Shift At the Pit. Got Home Had A Bath, Whisked From Wales To The North East Of England. To The Globe Theatre In Stockton - On - Tees.🚗🚙🚗🚙🚍🚕🚘
Did His Show And Went Back To Wales, So He Could Go To Do His Shift At Work The Next Day.🚙🚗🚕🚘🚍

He Was Such A Hit, That They Offered Tom Jones To Take Over PJProby's Tour.
Rest Is History.🎶🎤🎵🎤🎼🎤
The Next Day The Town Was Buzzing About This Young Welshman Who Stood On Stockton's Globe Stage In A Silky Shirt, Black Tight Trousers And A Gold Chain.👢🥼👖
That Captivated The Audience With His Beautiful Voice. 🎤🎵🎤🎶🎤🎼

People Were So Impressed With His Singing They Wondering Why They Had Not Seen Or Heard Him. On The Working Men's Clubs In The North East.🎵🎤🎶
Because Most Artists Did Their Apprenticeship Or Gain Experience
By Doing The Working Men's Club.🎤🎶
Especially In The North Of Great Britain, If You Did Well There,You Were Good.🎤🎶
Because The People Wanted Good Entertainment And Were Quick To Tell You If You Were Not Up To Scratch.🎶🎤

How Times Have Changed In Those's Days It Was Termed Indecent For Splitting Your Trousers.👖👖
Nowadays He Would Be Classed A Hero, As Anything Seems To Go.🌟🌟🌟

I Loved PJ Prints Voice,He Was He Was So Tall

He was like one of the first modern rock singers. Great in his day.

Babs Hughes

Love this song, drove my mum mad playing it over and over. Together is my favorite.

Ken Lee

Hahaha, my favourite , I'm 42 this year , how old are you?

Dorothy Lingwood

I did too - told her it was a new song out - she said it was years old didn’t believe her I was only 17! 😘

Lisa Aman

My mum too 😂😂😂

Miguel Urdaci

Babs Hughes - Same here (though my mum loved it). Pre-school, late 60s. Great big wooden gramophone-cum-sideboard. Over and over again I'd play it ... so edgy the sound, verging on saturation. The harmonica kicked boredom out of our suburban Wirral house. I'm sure PJ would have been huge if it hadn't been for Mary Whitehouse.

Soulman

Thumbs up for this song !!!
