Don't Let Go Of Me
Letta Mbulu Lyrics

Please stay around me
I can make you smile
Stay around a while

Late in the night
We touch and I'm so free
Don't let go on me

Your arms tucked around my waist
I must confess

You are my spotless

Thoughts I can't hide
When I am close to you
Don't let go of me

We are caught
Wrapped in a warm embrace
A feeling I can't erase
Can't you hear me calling?
I'm falling

Lost (I'm lost)
Sitting in a cooling chair
It's pulling me closer still
Can't you hear me calling?
Now I know i'm falling

Sway, feel the dance floor moving
Like the sea
Gently rocking me

Hold, bodies pressing close
So tenderly
Don't let go of me

Hold me tight
Tenderly
Don't you let go of me

Hold me tight (Me tight)
Tenderly
Don't you let go

Hold me tight
Tenderly
Don't you let go of me

Hold me tight (Me tight)
Tenderly
Don't you let go

Please stay around me
I can make you smile
Stay around a while

Late in the night
We touch and I'm so free
Don't let go on me

Please stay around me
I can make you smile (Stay around a while)
Don't let go on me (Don't let me go)

Please stay around me
I can make you smile (Stay around a while)
Don't let go on me

Please stay around me
I can make you smile
Don't let go on me

Please stay around me
I can make you smile (Hold me tenderly)
Don't let go on me

Please stay around me
I can make you smile (Hold me tenderly)
Don't let go on me (Don't let go of me)
