(Soft piano intro, gentle guitar)
(Band humming)
mmm
mmm
⸻
(Male vocal)
The night is moving slowly
Like it knows we’re holding on
Every word feels like a memory
Before the moment’s gone
Every laugh becomes a picture
Every breath becomes a song
Like the world is standing still now
Trying to make this last so long
(Backing harmonies)
oh-oh
stay here
⸻
(Male vocal – second member)
Every second feels like something
We should never let escape
Every shadow on the wall now
Feels like time we can’t replace
Maybe life keeps moving forward
Maybe dawn will come too soon
But the way you’re standing here now
Feels like summer in June
(Backing vocals)
yeah
hold on
⸻
(Pre-chorus – boyband harmonies)
If tomorrow starts without us
If the morning steals the light
Just remember in this moment
We were everything tonight
(Piano building)
⸻
(Chorus – full band harmonies)
Hold on to tonight
Don’t let the feeling fade away
Every memory we’re making
Is a story we will say
Hold on to tonight
Let the music carry on
Even when the lights are fading
We’ll remember this song
(Backing vocals)
oh-oh
hold on tonight
⸻
(Guitar and piano continue)
(Male vocal)
Every road will lead somewhere
Every dream will take its turn
But the way this moment feels now
Is a fire that will burn
⸻
(Male vocal – third member)
Maybe time will try to steal it
Maybe life will pull apart
But the echo of this moment
Will stay beating in our hearts
(Backing harmonies)
oh-oh
⸻
(Pre-chorus – harmonies building)
If tomorrow starts without us
If the morning steals the light
Just remember in this moment
We were everything tonight
(Drums softly entering)
⸻
(Big chorus – full band)
Hold on to tonight
Don’t let the feeling fade away
Every memory we’re making
Is a story we will say
Hold on to tonight
Let the music carry on
Even when the lights are fading
We’ll remember this song
⸻
(Bridge – emotional moment)
(Band humming)
mmm
mmm
(Male vocal)
Even when the years go by
Even when the roads divide
There will always be a moment
Where our voices still collide
⸻
(Final chorus – huge harmonies)
Hold on to tonight
Every star above will shine
Every memory we’re making
Will outlive the hands of time
Hold on to tonight
Let the music lead the way
Every moment that we shared here
Will forever stay

Midnight…

Avenue!
Midnight…
(Full band)
Avenue!

(Outro – piano fading)
hold on tonight
hold on tonight
