Hold Me 'Til The Morning Comes
Paul Anka & Peter Cetera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Neither one knows what to say
Both falling for love
But not quite all the way
Look at us now
Reaching back for yesterday
And wanting to know
After all I'm the one who said we're through
Now I can't live without you anymore
And out there lost is a dream that can't come true
Is it worth the reaching for
Do you need me anymore,
Darling
[Chorus]
Hold me till the morning comes
Until I see your smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes
Hold me till the morning sun
Let me stay we've just begun
I wanna stay with you
Well shall we start
A tender world that we can share
And if we believe
In time we will get there
Look at us now
Wanting more than words can say
Both falling in love
But this time all the way
Out there lost are the words I still love you
Are they worth the reaching for
Do you love me anymore, darling
[Chorus]
Hold me till the morning comes
Until I see your smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes (no more, no details)
Hold me till the morning sun
Let me stay we've just begun
I wanna stay with you
[Chorus]
Would you love me in the morning (would you love me?)(love me)
Will you still be there in the morning (would you love me?)
Or would you leave without a warning (say you stay)
(Say you'll stay by me) (say you love me too)
Say you love me too (don't run away)
The song "Hold Me 'Til The Morning Comes" by Paul Anka and Peter Cetera describes a situation where two people who were once in love but had to separate are now faced with a dilemma of whether to reconcile or not. The first verse of the song talks about how both of them have tried to move on but end up falling short because they are still in love with each other. They are both hesitant to express their feelings because of past hurt, which gives the impression that their hearts are broken. They both want to know if the other person wants to stay, but neither of them knows what to say.
In the second verse, the song describes how they are now willing to start a new relationship with each other, "a tender world that we can share." They want more than words can say, and they are falling in love all the way this time. However, they are still not sure if they should reach out to each other because they do not know if their love is reciprocated. The chorus then repeats the phrase "hold me till the morning comes," which seems to indicate that both of them need affection and reassurance before they can make a commitment.
The bridge of the song then poses some philosophical questions about love. It asks if love is worth reaching for and if the dream of a relationship is worth pursuing. The song ends with the repeated plea to stay with each other and an assurance that they love each other. It is a touching and heartfelt song about the complexity of relationships and the difficulty of expressing one's emotions.
