Hold Me Tighter In The Rain (Original 12
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
