Hold me tight

When you’re with me, darlin’, that’s when I say

Every mile I walked alone was worth it anyway.

I don’t know if I’m dreamin’

Or if this is meant to be,

But when I’m in your arms I know

You brought the best outta me.

🌤️ Pre-Chorus

And baby, I woke up this mornin’

With tears of joy in my eyes.

By your side I’m truly livin’,

Ain’t no shadows left behind.

🎼 Chorus

Hold me tight, ‘cause time keeps runnin’ like a river.

It’s taken things from all my people and from me.

Hold me tight, ‘cause time’s a wild, unforgivin’ wanderer—

But it gets gentle when you’re holdin’ on to me.

Hold me tight, a little stronger,

Hold me tight, a little longer…

Yeah, darlin’, hold me tight.

🎸 Verse 2

Now that you’re here with me,

I can’t tell if time is flyin’

Or if your love has stopped the world

Just to keep my heart from dyin’.

I’m grateful for each moment,

For every breath with you,

And every time you look up at the sky,

Each star’s an “I love you.”

🌤️ Pre-Chorus

Heaven knows time can hurt you,

It don’t give its grace for free.

That’s why I whisper softly,

Baby, come closer to me…

🎼 Chorus

Hold me tight, ‘cause time’s a thief and it don’t bargain.

Hold me tight, my love, keep me right here by your side.

For everything you’ve given me,

I’ll try to pay it back in kind—

Each and every day of my life.

🌧️ Bridge

I ain’t one for carryin’ pain,

But I’ve been broken once before—

Trusted someone who swore

They’d give their life and so much more.

Now time’s still ridin’ against us,

Movin’ fast, it won’t slow down…

So hold me, love, don’t let go now.

🎼 Final Chorus

Hold me tight, ‘cause time keeps goin’ and it never forgives.

It’s carved its stories into me and my kin.

Hold me tight, ‘cause time’s the coldest friend I’ve known—

But your love warms me from within.

Hold me tight, ‘cause God forgives, but time forgives no one.

Hold me tight, for time don’t care who we are…

But baby, I do—

So hold me tight.
