Hold The Night

Verse 1

I never thought you’d be here,

curled against my chest,

sixteen years of waiting,

for one stolen breath.

Your hand in mine is fragile,

like something I could lose,

if morning takes you from me,

I wouldn’t know what to do.

Chorus

So let me hold the night,

keep the stars from fading,

freeze the fire in your eyes,

while the world is waiting.

If the dawn must come,

don’t let it take you away—

I’ll carry you with me,

when the night turns into day.

Verse 2

The world outside is heavy,

but here it disappears,

your heartbeat tells a story,

I’ve waited all these years.

If love’s a fleeting moment,

then let this one be mine,

I’ll burn it into memory,

and guard it for all time.

Chorus

So let me hold the night,

keep the stars from fading,

freeze the fire in your eyes,

while the world is waiting.

If the dawn must come,

don’t let it take you away—

I’ll carry you with me,

when the night turns into day.

Bridge

And when the silence finds me,

alone with what we’ve done,

I’ll close my eyes and hear you—

you’ll be my only song.

Chorus

So let me hold the night,

keep the stars from fading,

freeze the fire in your eyes,

while the world is waiting.

Final Chorus

If the dawn must come,

don’t let it take you away—

I’ll carry you with me,

when the night turns into day.

I’ll carry you with me,

when the night turns into day.
