Hold me tight 
  as I lay beside you 
  in the night.

Hold me closely 
  as I nestle 
  next to your warm body.

Hold me tighter 
  as the night starts to turn into day 
  and the sun comes up and it's time to go.

Hold me closer 
  as I step my feet out of the car door 
  not looking forward to the long day, not being able to see you.

Hold me tight 
  as I walk in the door 
  and, finally, am able to be in your arms once more.

Hold me tight 
  as I lay beside you 
  in the night.

Hold me forever... 
  in your 
  heart!

Dedicated to Maurice Gibb
