Hold Me Tight

(album: As Good As It Gets - 1988)

Troubled times in the firmament
Is this madness heaven-sent?
Three warriors where one would do
What's the whole world coming to?
In the land of the blue-eyed boy
Brown-eyed girl is his pride and joy
Will she wound or heal the scars?
My, how the glow reveals the stars
And the night goes on and on

Hold me tight, I know who you are
Save my life, don't tear it apart
Day or night, no matter how far
This may go, oh...

Over there is the kingdom come
Shining out like a sugar plum
So divine that it seems unreal
Tell the Father how you feel
Dry your tears on a nice clean towel
Take the word of a lovesick gal
It's easier to smile than frown
Stay out there when the sun goes down
And the night goes on and on

And hold me tight, I know who you are
Save my life, don't tear it apart
Day or night, no matter how far
This may go, oh...
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa...

So even though the darkness might
Stay out there in the light

And hold me tight, I know who you are
Save my life, don't tear it apart
Day or night, no matter how far
(This may go)
Where this may go

Hold me tight, I know who you are
Save my life, save my life
And day or night, no matter how far
This may go
Where this may go

Hold me tight
(Save my life)
Oh, won't you save my life now, yeah
Day or night
This my go

Hold me tight
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Save my life)
Oh, won't you save my life now, boy
Day or night, no matter how far, yeah
This may go, may go...
