Hold Me

Written by:

You don't need, you don't need anybody,
Nobody but me;
I don't need, I don't need anybody,
Nobody but you.
You don't need to say you love me,
You don't need to say that much.
You don't need to say you love me;
'Cause I can tell by your tender touch.

You're the one to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life;
You're the one to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life.

I don't need your conversation.
I don't need your soul to sympathize.
I can feel the sweetest sensations,
Falling down just behind your eyes.

You're the one to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life;
You're the one to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life.

Some days I walk in my own shadow,
I do wish I had a walk-to-water life.
Never feel my spirit freezing down that low.
You can come drive away my darkness;
You can make my life shine.

You're the one to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life;
You're the one to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life.

[solo]

You don't need to say you love me,
You don't need to say that much.
You never need to say you love me,
I can tell by that tender touch.

You're the one to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life;
I want you just to hold me,
You're the one to hold me all my life.

You don't need, you don't need anybody,
Nobody but me;
I don't need, I don't need anybody,
Nobody but you.

[repeat three times]
