Hold Me For a Little While

hold me for a little while

till my tears all flow away

hold me for a little while

to keep my fears at bay

 

hold me like you mean it

let me feel your warmth

embrace me with your strength

soothe me with your voice

 

love has slipped away

faith no where in sight

i need to feel you near    

if only for one night

 

cast your arms around me

tell me i’ll be all right

say you’ll stand beside me

through this dark, dark night

slide in slow behind me

chest against my spine

press your body close

hearts will be entwined

hold me for a little while

before all feeling slips away                          

hold me for a little while                                

we have so much to say 

                               

hold me like you mean it

say sweet tender things

touch me like you do

who cares what morning brings

 

i need to know your goodness

to help relieve my pain

so I can feel forgiveness

and learn to live again
