Hold Me Tighter In The Rain
Billy Griffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just another walk in the rain
But you know it isn't like before
Darling, that's over, you said it's over
If we held each other near
Remembering the time, never fear
Why can't we make it feel the way it did
Hold me tighter in the rain, when it's through
Won't you hold me once again
Hold me tighter in the rain
`Cause I love you, say you love me if you can
Let me kiss you one more time
A pitter-patter to catch love in your mind
Remember how we used to play the games
Stealing kisses, walkin' in the rain
Oh, can I lead you one more time
Let me convince your heart, that you were mine
Take my hand and whisper that you'll stay
Help me pass this lonely night away
Oh, hold me tighter in the rain
When it's through, would you hold me once again
Just hold me tighter in the rain
I love you, say you love me if you can
Hold me tighter in the rain
When it's through, would you hold me once again
Hold me tighter in the rain
`Cause I love you, say you love me if you can
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold on to love, hold on to me
Don't leave me in the rain
Won't you stay with me
Hold on to love, hold on to me
Don't leave me in the rain
Won't you stay with me
Stay-yay-yay, just say you'll stay
Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby
Stay-yay-yay, just say you'll stay
Hold me tighter in the rain
Just hold me baby
Just let me lady
Won't you let me baby
Next time you see me
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby
Hold me tighter, one more time
Say you love me, if you can
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me tighter

Line by Line Meaning
Many times we been this way
We've gone through this situation many times before
Just another walk in the rain
This is just another time we're walking in the rain together
But you know it isn't like before
You're aware that things are different now
Darling, that's over, you said it's over
You've told me that what we had before is finished
If we held each other near
If we were physically close to each other
Remembering the time, never fear
Recalling the past and don't be afraid to do so
Why can't we make it feel the way it did
Why can't we bring back the same feelings we had before
Darling, say it's over, won't you think it over
Even though you said it's over, please reconsider it
Hold me tighter in the rain, when it's through
Embrace me closely in the rain when the rain stops
Won't you hold me once again
Please hold me one more time
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me closer while it rains
`Cause I love you, say you love me if you can
I love you, please tell me you love me back
Let me kiss you one more time
Allow me to kiss you one last time
A pitter-patter to catch love in your mind
A gentle sound to make you think of love
Remember how we used to play the games
Recall how we used to have fun together
Stealing kisses, walkin' in the rain
We used to steal kisses while walking in the rain
Oh, can I lead you one more time
May I guide you one last time
Let me convince your heart, that you were mine
Let me try and persuade your heart that you belong to me
Take my hand and whisper that you'll stay
Take my hand and say that you'll stay with me
Help me pass this lonely night away
Help me get through this lonely night
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Please stay
Hold on to love, hold on to me
Hold onto your love for me and to myself
Don't leave me in the rain
Don't leave me alone in the rain
Won't you stay with me
Please, stay with me
Stay-yay-yay, just say you'll stay
Please stay, just say you'll stay
Just hold me baby
Just hold me tight
Just let me lady
Just let the lady hold you
Won't you let me baby
Please allow me to hold you
Next time you see me
The next time you see me
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me closer while it rains
Hold me tighter in the rain, my baby
Hold me tightly in the rain, my love
Hold me tighter, one more time
Hold me tighter, one last time
Say you love me, if you can
Tell me that you love me if you're able to
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me closer while it rains
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me closer while it rains
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me closer while it rains
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me closer while it rains
Hold me tighter in the rain
Hold me closer while it rains
Hold me tighter
Hold me tightly
