Hold me
Douwe Bob & Anouk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The things you say
In your innocent way
Remind me how it should be
Your love I can trace
In a wide open space
Oh your beautiful face I've seen

It's the way you walk
And the way that you talk to me
You're God's gift to my world
The prettiest girl
And I feel like I live a dream
The silence I fear
Preach to the morning sun

So just hold me now
I'll stay here all night 'cause
I don't feel so alone when you are
Holding me tight, love

The things you do and say
Always go hand in hand
You're all you seem to be
Not a shred of your pretends
I will run like a fool just to be by your side
Don't hold back, my love
You're my joy in this sad, sad world
You are safe with me
Dream, and you will be free

So just hold me now
I'll stay here all night 'cause
I don't feel so alone when you are
Holding me tight, love
So just hold me now
I'll stay here all night 'cause
I don't feel so alone when you are
Holding me tight, love

And if could have it my way
I'd tell you to stay here always
I will be waiting for you
I'll be waiting, and there's nothing else I can do
You're taking me over

So just hold me now
I'll stay here all night 'cause
I don't feel so alone when you are
Holding me tight, love
So just hold me now
I'll stay here all night 'cause




I don't feel so alone when you are
Holding me tight, love
