Never Let You Go
Alex Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call my name
Sitting beside me
Like a burning flame
My eyes are closed but
I feel you breathe
Whispering softly
I will never, ever, ever
Let you go, you know
I will never, ever, ever
Let you go, you know
Take my hand
Through these streets
The city's dark
It's just you and me
I'll hold you close
You'll help me stand
On my own two feet again
Something about you
It caught my eye
A romance that
I cannot describe
And I remember
The way you taste
The smell of your skin
The touch of your face
I will never, ever, ever
Let you go, well, you know
I will never, ever, ever
Let you go, well, you know
Take my hand
Through these streets
The city's dark
It's just you and me
I'll hold you close
You'll help me stand
On my own two feet again
And when you can't go on
And you fear you won't survive
You can turn to me
I'll be here, right by your side
Well, you know
I will never, ever, ever
Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
Take my hand
Through these streets
The city's dark
It's just you and me
I'll hold you close
You'll help me stand
On my own two feet again
And every night
Every dream
With every song
You'll hear me sing
I'll hold you close
You'll help me stand
On my own two feet again
